Domperidone maleate is a medication primarily used as an antiemetic and a prokinetic agent. It is marketed under various trade names such as Motilium, Motilidone, and Costi. This drug is particularly effective in treating nausea and vomiting, dyspepsia, and gastroparesis, which is a condition where the stomach cannot empty itself in a normal fashion.
Domperidone is a dopamine antagonist that principally blocks the dopamine receptors located in the Chemoreceptor Trigger Zone (CTZ) and stomach. Its gastroprokinetic action is based on its blocking effect of dopamine receptors that have an influence on the motility of the gastrointestinal tract. Due to its weak penetration across the blood-brain barrier, Domperidone has almost no effect on the dopaminergic receptors in the brain, therefore, excluding psychotropic and neurologic side effects. Domperidone restores normal motility and tone of the upper gastrointestinal tract, facilitates gastric emptying, enhances antral and duodenal peristalsis and regulates contraction of the pylorus. Domperidone also increases esophageal peristalsis and lower esophageal sphincter pressure and thus prevents regurgitation of gastric content.
