🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
This medicine combines two active ingredients with complementary actions. Domperidone is a peripheral dopamine D2 receptor antagonist that blocks dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone and the gastrointestinal tract. This blockade enhances gastric motility and accelerates gastric emptying without significant central nervous system effects because it does not readily cross the blood-brain barrier. Paracetamol acts primarily in the central nervous system by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, which reduces pain and fever. The combination provides symptomatic relief from nausea, vomiting, and associated pain or fever.
Mechanism Steps
💡 How to Take dompimol suspension
Strength: Each 5 mL of suspension contains Domperidone 5 mg and Paracetamol 250 mg.
Dosage Information
| Adult Dosage | The usual adult dose of this medicine is 10 mL (containing domperidone 5 mg and paracetamol 250 mg) taken up to three times daily, preferably before meals. However, the exact dose and frequency must be individualized by a qualified clinician based on the indication, age, weight, renal and hepatic function, and clinical response. Do not exceed the recommended dose. |
| Pediatric Dosage | Pediatric dosing is not established from available information. Consult a pediatrician for appropriate dosing in children. |
| Elderly Dosage | Elderly patients may be more sensitive to the side effects of this medicine. Use with caution and adjust dose as needed based on renal and hepatic function. Consult a doctor for individualized dosing. |
| Renal Impairment | In patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min), domperidone should be used with caution and dose reduction may be necessary. Paracetamol generally does not require dose adjustment in renal impairment, but frequent use should be avoided. |
| Hepatic Impairment | In patients with hepatic impairment, domperidone should be used with caution due to extensive hepatic metabolism. Paracetamol dose should be reduced or avoided in severe hepatic impairment to prevent liver toxicity. |
| Maximum Daily Dose | The maximum daily dose should not exceed 30 mL (domperidone 15 mg and paracetamol 750 mg) in adults. However, the exact maximum dose must be determined by a clinician based on individual factors. |
