Motilium (active ingredient: domperidone) is a prescription medication used to help relieve nausea and vomiting and to treat symptoms associated with gastroparesis, a condition in which the stomach empties more slowly than normal.
Motilium belongs to a group of medications called dopamine receptor antagonists. It works by increasing the movement of food through the stomach and digestive tract, helping the stomach empty more quickly. This can help reduce symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, and abdominal discomfort.
Relief of Nausea and Vomiting
Motilium is used to relieve symptoms of nausea and vomiting that may occur as a result of certain medical conditions or treatments. It may be prescribed for nausea and vomiting associated with conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastroparesis, or certain cancer treatments, including chemotherapy.

How Motilium Works
Motilium works by blocking dopamine receptors in the digestive system. This action helps increase the movement of food through the stomach and intestines, allowing the stomach to empty more quickly.
By improving stomach motility and gastric emptying, Motilium can help reduce nausea and vomiting while easing digestive symptoms associated with delayed stomach emptying.
