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.

Key Benefits

  • Helps relieve nausea.
  • Helps reduce episodes of vomiting.
  • Supports normal stomach emptying.
  • May improve comfort and daily functioning.

Treatment of Gastroparesis Symptoms

Motilium is also used to help manage symptoms of gastroparesis, a condition in which food moves too slowly from the stomach into the intestines.

By helping the stomach empty more efficiently, Motilium may reduce common symptoms associated with gastroparesis.

Symptoms It May Help Relieve

  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Feeling full quickly after eating (early satiety)
  • Bloating
  • Abdominal discomfort
  • A feeling of stomach fullness after meals

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.

Motilium tablets should be taken 15 to 30 minutes before meals, or exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Taking the medication before eating allows it to work more effectively by helping food move through the stomach and digestive tract.

Motilium is commonly prescribed three times a day, although your healthcare provider may recommend a different dosing schedule based on your individual needs and medical condition. Always follow the instructions provided with your prescription.

When taking Motilium, swallow the tablet whole and drink a full glass of water immediately afterward. Do not change your dose or dosing schedule unless instructed to do so by your healthcare provider.

If you have difficulty understanding the directions on your prescription label or are unsure how to take this medication, speak with your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They can answer your questions and help ensure that you are using the medication correctly.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of Motilium, take your next dose at the regularly scheduled time. Do not take the missed dose if it is close to the time of your next dose.

Do not take two doses at the same time or take an extra dose to make up for a missed dose. Taking more than the prescribed amount may increase the risk of side effects without providing additional benefit.

To help you remember your doses, try taking Motilium at the same times each day and consider using a medication reminder, such as a pill organizer, calendar, or smartphone alert.

  • Do not take Motilium if you are allergic to domperidone or any of the ingredients in the medication. Tell your healthcare provider if you have experienced an allergic reaction to domperidone or similar medications in the past.
  • Domperidone may affect the electrical activity of the heart and can increase the risk of serious heart rhythm problems, including a condition known as torsades de pointes. Before starting treatment, tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of heart disease, an irregular heartbeat, prolonged QT interval, or low levels of electrolytes such as potassium or magnesium.
  • Motilium should not be used in people with moderate or severe liver impairment. If you have mild liver problems, your healthcare provider may decide to monitor you more closely during treatment.
  • Domperidone can increase the levels of a hormone called prolactin. Elevated prolactin levels may cause symptoms such as breast enlargement, breast tenderness, milk production, or changes in menstrual cycles. Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of pituitary gland disorders or experience any unusual hormonal symptoms while taking this medication.
  • Some medications can interact with domperidone and increase the risk of side effects or heart rhythm problems. Before taking Motilium, provide your healthcare provider with a complete list of all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and herbal supplements you use.
  • If you have kidney problems, tell your healthcare provider before starting Motilium. Reduced kidney function may affect how the medication is processed in the body and may require additional monitoring.
  • Motilium may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or lightheadedness in some people. Until you know how the medication affects you, avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing activities that require alertness.
  • Motilium should not be used by patients with a prolactin-secreting pituitary tumor (prolactinoma). Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of pituitary gland conditions before starting treatment.
  • Domperidone can pass into breast milk and may affect a nursing infant. If you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed, discuss the potential benefits and risks of treatment with your healthcare provider before taking Motilium.
  • Like all medications, Motilium may cause side effects. Common side effects can include dry mouth, headache, stomach discomfort, or other digestive symptoms. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience unusual, severe, or persistent side effects, or if you have concerns about how the medication is affecting you.

Can Motilium Be Given to Children?

Motilium may be prescribed for children 12 years of age and older when considered appropriate by a healthcare provider. The dose and duration of treatment will depend on the child’s age, weight, and medical condition. Always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when giving this medication to a child.

Can Motilium Be Taken During Pregnancy?

Motilium should not be used during pregnancy unless the potential benefits clearly outweigh the risks. If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, talk to your healthcare provider before taking this medication. If you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed, consult your healthcare provider before using Motilium. Domperidone can pass into breast milk and may affect a nursing infant.

What Should I Do If I Forget to Take a Dose of Motilium?

If you miss a dose of Motilium, take your next dose at the usual scheduled time. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time or take an extra dose to make up for a missed dose. Taking more than the prescribed amount may increase the risk of side effects without improving the effectiveness of the medication.
