What Experts Say

Pelton V contains domperidone maleate, a dopamine antagonist that works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain and upper gastrointestinal tract. By blocking dopamine, it enhances the natural contractions of the stomach and intestines. This improved muscle movement helps food move through the digestive system more efficiently, reducing nausea and vomiting.

Doctors commonly prescribe this medicine for conditions involving slowed gastric emptying or delayed stomach movement. It is particularly useful for nausea and vomiting from various causes, including medication side effects and digestive disorders. The medicine works peripherally, meaning it acts on the stomach and intestines rather than deeply affecting the brain.

Medical guidelines recognize domperidone as an effective prokinetic and antiemetic agent. It is generally well tolerated when used as directed. Unlike some nausea medications, domperidone is less likely to cause drowsiness because of its peripheral action in the body.
