What Experts Say
Domperidone works by blocking dopamine receptors in the gut, which helps the stomach empty its contents faster and reduces the signals that trigger nausea and vomiting. Because it does not easily enter the brain, it causes far less drowsiness than older anti sickness medicines.
Health regulators worldwide, including in Pakistan, now recommend using domperidone at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time, generally no more than one week, because of a rare but serious risk of heart rhythm changes. Doctors typically avoid it in patients with known heart conditions.
Emetus should be taken about 15 to 30 minutes before meals for the best effect on nausea linked to eating. Patients on other medicines that affect heart rhythm should mention this to their doctor before starting Emetus.
