🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionNaproxen is rapidly and completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. Domperidone is also well absorbed orally, but undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism.
DistributionNaproxen is highly protein-bound and distributes into synovial fluid. Domperidone does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier and has a large volume of distribution.
Protein BindingNaproxen: >99% bound to plasma proteins. Domperidone: ~91-93% bound to plasma proteins.
MetabolismNaproxen is metabolized in the liver primarily by CYP2C9 to inactive metabolites. Domperidone is metabolized in the liver by CYP3A4 and CYP1A2.
Half-LifeNaproxen: 12-17 hours. Domperidone: approximately 7-9 hours.
ExcretionNaproxen metabolites are excreted mainly in urine (95%) and feces (less than 5%). Domperidone is excreted in urine (31%) and feces (66%).
BioavailabilityNaproxen: approximately 95% (oral). Domperidone: approximately 13-17% due to first-pass metabolism.
Onset of ActionNaproxen: pain relief within 30-60 minutes. Domperidone: antiemetic effect within 30-60 minutes.
Peak Plasma TimeNaproxen: 2-4 hours. Domperidone: 0.5-2 hours.
Duration of ActionNaproxen: 8-12 hours. Domperidone: 4-6 hours.

How It Works

Naproxen works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), leading to decreased production of prostaglandins, which are mediators of pain, inflammation, and fever. Domperidone blocks dopamine D2 receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone and gastrointestinal tract, enhancing gastric motility and reducing nausea and vomiting.

Mechanism Steps

1
COX inhibition by naproxen: Naproxen binds to and reversibly inhibits cyclooxygenase enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis.
2
Reduced prostaglandins: Lower prostaglandin levels decrease pain, inflammation, and fever.
3
D2 receptor blockade by domperidone: Domperidone blocks dopamine D2 receptors in the brain and gut, preventing nausea signals.
4
Enhanced gastric motility: Domperidone promotes stomach emptying and intestinal movement, reducing bloating and nausea.
