Motilium

What is it?

Composition

The main component of Motilium is domperidone in a dosage of 10 mg. Its formula also contains excipients that play an important role in ensuring the stability and effectiveness of the drug. These components improve the absorption and distribution of the main active substance in the body. Among these substances are:

• Lactose
• Corn starch
• Microcrystalline cellulose
• Pregelatinized potato starch
• Povidone
• Magnesium stearate
• Hydrogenated vegetable oil
• Sodium lauryl sulfate
• Hypromellose

These components not only provide the consistency and integrity of the tablets, but also improve their absorption and effectiveness in the body. Their harmonious combination allows you to achieve maximum benefit from using the medicine.

How to use?

The use of Motilium requires compliance with certain rules to achieve the best therapeutic effect. Taking this medicine does not require any excellent conditions and can be done at home. However, there are several recommendations for more effective and safe use:

1. The tablets should be taken 15-30 minutes before meals, which promotes better absorption and increases the effectiveness of the drug.
2. The recommended dosage is usually 10 to 20 mg three to four times a day. Individual dosage may vary depending on specific symptoms and medical recommendations.
3. Do not exceed the doses recommended by your doctor and do not use the drugs for a longer period without consulting him to avoid possible complications and side effects.

These simple rules will help you achieve the maximum effect from the drug, minimize the risk of side effects and ensure its safe use.

How does it work?

The mechanism of action of Motilium is to block dopamine receptors both in the brain and in the upper intestines. This action stops the transmission of signals about nausea from the stomach to the brain, thereby preventing the occurrence of vomiting and corresponding sensations in the stomach. As a result of this action, uncomfortable symptoms such as bloating and heartburn are significantly reduced, and the general condition improves.

The drug effectively restores the natural rhythm of contractions and relaxation of the stomach muscles, which can be disrupted due to slow digestion. Domperidone helps to normalize the functioning of the stomach and intestines, which helps to avoid stagnation and the unpleasant symptoms associated with them. This is very important for people whose digestive processes often get out of control, causing unpleasant symptoms and discomfort.

Indications

Motilium is suitable for the treatment of various conditions associated with gastrointestinal discomfort. The main indications for use include relief of symptoms of nausea and vomiting, as well as other digestive disorders. This drug is also often used in combination therapy for certain diseases to eliminate side effects and improve the patients quality of life.

• Nausea and vomiting of various origins
• Bloating and a feeling of fullness in the stomach
• Heartburn and digestive discomfort
• Symptoms associated with the use of medications, such as drugs for the treatment of cancer and Parkinsons disease
• Increasing the volume of breast milk in nursing mothers

These indications make Motilium an indispensable tool in the arsenal of any doctor who works with patients suffering from such problems.

Contraindications

Contraindications to the use of Motilium are important to ensure patient safety and prevent unnecessary risks. Before starting treatment, it is recommended to discuss your medical history and the presence of any of the following conditions with your doctor to avoid possible complications.

• Allergic reaction to domperidone or other components of the drug

• Taking certain other medications that affect heart rhythm
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding (only under strict doctors instructions)

Understanding these contraindications is extremely important to ensure the safety of the drug and to avoid complications associated with its use.

Side effects
