Composition

Each 5 ml of suspension contains:

• Domperidone Maleate 5 mg

The liquid formulation ensures easy administration and accurate dosing, particularly in pediatric patients.

Indications

Domilux Suspension is indicated for:

• Nausea and vomiting of various causes
• Delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis)
• Bloating and abdominal discomfort
• Gastroesophageal reflux symptoms
• Indigestion associated with slow gastric motility

It is commonly used in both adults and children under medical guidance.

Pharmacological Action

Domperidone works by blocking dopamine (D2) receptors in the gastrointestinal tract and the chemoreceptor trigger zone:

• Enhances gastric emptying and intestinal movement
• Increases lower esophageal sphincter tone, reducing reflux
• Prevents nausea and vomiting by acting on the vomiting center

Unlike some other agents, it has minimal penetration into the central nervous system, reducing the risk of neurological side effects.
