Medicine Description dompidone 100ml
Dompidone 100 ml syrup is a medication that primarily functions as a dopamine antagonist. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, particularly the D2 receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) of the brain and the gastrointestinal system. This inhibition leads to enhanced gastrointestinal motility and gastric emptying, which helps to alleviate symptoms of nausea and vomiting. By preventing the action of dopamine, Dompidone reduces the sensation of nausea and promotes the movement of food through the stomach, making it particularly useful in conditions where motility is impaired.
