What Experts Say

Domperidone speeds up stomach emptying and blocks signals in the brain that trigger nausea and vomiting.

It works best when taken fifteen to thirty minutes before meals, since food triggers the stomach symptoms it is meant to control.

It carries a heart rhythm warning at higher doses or longer use, so it is usually prescribed at the lowest effective dose for the shortest needed time.
