How it works
Domperidone works by blocking dopamine receptors in the upper digestive system and in the brain's vomiting center. This action speeds up the movement of food through the stomach and intestines, helping to reduce nausea and vomiting. It also increases the muscle tone at the entrance to the stomach, preventing stomach contents from moving backward, thereby relieving symptoms of indigestion and bloating.
