How Domperidone Works in the Body

 Domperidone, the active ingredient in Dompy tablets, acts as an antagonist of dopamine D2 receptors. It counteracts dopamine's inhibitory effect on the digestive system, which leads to stimulation of stomach muscle contractions. This, in turn, accelerates the movement of stomach contents into the intestines, helping relieve symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, and heaviness in the stomach.

Medical Uses of Dompy Tablets

Dompy tablets, which contain the active ingredient Domperidone at a concentration of 10 mg, are used in the treatment of various gastrointestinal disorders. Thanks to their antiemetic and prokinetic properties, they act on dopamine receptors in both the digestive system and the brain. The medical uses include:

• Treatment of Nausea: Dompy is used to relieve nausea, especially when caused by delayed gastric emptying or due to certain medications or gastrointestinal infections. It works as an antiemetic by inhibiting dopamine receptors in the brain's vomiting center, thereby reducing the unpleasant sensation.
  Treatment of Vomiting: Dompy helps prevent or treat vomiting whether it’s caused by viral or bacterial infections, motion sickness, certain medications (such as cancer drugs or psychiatric medications), inflammation, or stomach disorders.
• Relief from Stomach Heaviness and Bloating: Domperidone functions as a prokinetic by stimulating stomach muscle contractions, which aids in gastric emptying and reduces the feeling of heaviness or bloating after meals.
• Alleviation of Upper Abdominal Discomfort: Due to its gastrointestinal motility-enhancing properties, Dompy can help improve cases of functional dyspepsia and ease feelings of discomfort or pressure in the upper abdomen.
• Treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux (GERD): Dompy 10 mg tablets help reduce the backward flow of stomach contents into the esophagus. This minimizes symptoms such as excessive burping, heartburn, or a burning sensation behind the chest by enhancing stomach motility and strengthening the valve between the stomach and esophagus.
• Management of Gastroparesis: Dompy is used in certain cases of delayed gastric emptying, such as partial stomach paralysis after surgeries or in diabetic patients. It is also prescribed for bowel movement disorders caused by neurological or drug-induced dysfunctions.
