Domperidone (domperidone) is a dopamine antagonist, which means it interferes with dopamine receptors throughout the body. The medication is most well-known for a few different uses: 

• Suppresses nausea and vomiting
• Enhances gastrointestinal motility (function)
• Promotes lactation in nursing mothers

Authorized use of this treatment for differing conditions varies widely by country; in some areas it may be used for all the above purposes, in other areas just one or two, and in some areas none at all. Clients who buy domperidone are responsible for compliance with local laws regarding purchase and use.

Domperidone as an Antiemetic

Antiemetics suppress nausea and vomiting. In the case of domperidone, it is usually given as a antiemetic when the nausea is caused by other prescription medications, rather than for simple motion sickness or morning sickness.

The medication is particularly useful in treating nausea in patients with Parkinson's disease, as it does not cross the blood-brain barrier.

To prevent nausea, most patients are advised to take 20 mg on an empty stomach 15 to 30 minutes prior to a meal, 3 to 4 times daily (60 to 80 mg daily).

Gastrointestinal Uses

Domperidone sees widespread use in improving gastrointestinal motility, which is essentially increasing the physical function (contractions and movements) of the stomach and bowel. This action may be beneficial in a number of conditions, including:

• Gastroparesis (delayed emptying of the stomach)
• Acid reflux disease (also called GERD)
• Bloating, gas and/or abdominal discomfort
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Gastritis (inflammation of stomach lining)
• Dyspepsia (impaired digestion)
• Hiatal hernia (stomach protrudes through diaphragm)

There are a wide range of other disorders related to gastrointestinal motility which domperidone may improve.

To enhance gastrointestinal motility, domperidone is usually taken in 10 mg doses 3 to 4 times a day (30 to 40 mg daily), 15 to 30 minutes before eating a meal. Occasionally some patients are advised to take higher doses of 20 mg with each meal.

Stimulating Lactation

In humans, lactation is stimulated by the hormone prolactin. Dopamine inhibits release of the prolactin; taking domperidone, which inhibits dopamine, promotes release of prolactin, which stimulates lactation.

Domperidone has been used with great success as a lactation stimulant, with considerably fewer side effects than similar, competing medications. However, it is not formally approved for use as a lactation enhancement in most countries. Though it sees widespread use around the world despite this, it may be difficult to acquire a prescription to buy domperidone for the purpose of lactation stimulation in some areas.

To improve lactation, domperidone is typically taken in 10 to 20 mg doses 3 to 4 times daily (30 to 80 mg daily), similar to its other uses, though some physicians have advised as much as 30 to 40 mg in each dose (90 to 160 mg daily) with no apparent ill effects.
