COMPOSITION
MODE OF ACTION
Domperidone is a dopamine antagonist with antiemetic properties. Domperidone does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier. In domperidone extrapyramidal side effects are very rare. The anti-emetic effect may be due to a combination of peripheral (gastrokinetic) effects and antagonism of dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone, which lie outside the blood-brain barrier in the area postrema.
Studies in man have shown oral domperidone to increase lower esophageal pressure, improve enteroduodenal motility and accelerate gastric emptying.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
A- Use in infants: Because the metabolic and blood brain barrier functions are not fully developed during the first months of life, any drug should only be given to infants with great caution and under close medical supervision. Since the typical absence of neurological side effects with Dompy are mainly due to its poor penetration through the blood brain barrier , the possible occurrence of such effects cannot be totally excluled in infants under 1 year of age.
B- Use in liver disorders: since domperidone is highly metabolized in the liver. Dompy should be used with caution in patients with hepatic impairments.
C- Use in kidney disorders: In patients with severe renal insufficiency (i.e. when serum creatinine 6 mg/100 ml, i.e. 0.6 m mol/l) the elimination half-life of domperidone was increased from 7.4 to 20.8 hours, but plasma drug levels were lower than in healthy volunteers. Since very little unchanged drug is excreted via the kidneys. It is unlikely that the dose of a single acute administration needs to be adjusted in patients with renal Insufficiency. However. On repeated administration, the dosing frequency should be reduced to once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the impairment, and the dose may need to be reduced. Generally patients on prolonged therapy should be reviewed regularly.
D- Pregnancy and lactation: Domperidone given to animals at doses up to 160 mg/ kg/ day did not produce teratogenic effects. However, like most medicines, Dompy should only be used during the first trimester of pregnancy if this is justified by the anticipated therapeutic benefit. Up to now, there has been no evidence of an increase in the risk of malformations in humans. The drug is excreted in breast milk of lactating rats (mostly as metabolites. Peak concentration of 40 and 60 mg/ml after oral and i.v. administration of 25 mg/ml respectively. In women Domperidone concentration in breast milk is 4 times lower than corresponding plasma. It is not known whether this is harmful to the newborn. Therefore nursing is not recommended for mothers who are taking Dompy, unless the expected benefits outweigh any potential risk. Review medicine safety categories during pregnancy.
E- Use in post-operative: Not recommended for routine prophylaxis of postoperative vomiting or for chronic administration. See Zofran for postoperative vomiting.
