What Experts Say

Domperidone helps the stomach and upper gut move food along more efficiently and blocks the signals that trigger nausea. This relieves fullness, bloating and the urge to vomit.

It is usually taken shortly before meals so it can act as the stomach fills. Because it works mainly in the gut and does not readily enter the brain, it causes fewer central side effects than some older similar medicines.

Domperidone can, uncommonly, affect heart rhythm, so doctors advise the lowest effective dose for the shortest time and caution in heart conditions or with certain medicines. Any palpitations should be reported.
