Motilium Syrup 200ml

Description

Motilium Syrup 200ml contains domperidone as the active ingredient in a liquid formulation, with a volume of 200 milliliters. Domperidone is a dopamine receptor antagonist primarily used to relieve symptoms of nausea and vomiting. It works by speeding up the movement of food through the stomach and intestines, which helps to reduce feelings of sickness and prevents vomiting. The syrup formulation is often preferred for children or individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets. Key information includes:

• Domperidone in Syrup Form: The liquid formulation allows for easier administration and dosage adjustment, especially for pediatric use.
• 200ml Bottle: Provides a sufficient volume for multiple doses, depending on the frequency and amount prescribed.
• Relief of Nausea and Vomiting: Motilium syrup is used to treat nausea and vomiting caused by various conditions, including stomach upset, infections, and side effects of certain medications.
• Prokinetic Agent: Domperidone helps to increase the motility (movement) of the upper gastrointestinal tract, aiding in the emptying of the stomach and reducing the likelihood of nausea and vomiting.
• Prescription or Over-the-Counter: In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the availability of Motilium syrup may vary. It might be available over-the-counter for short-term relief of mild nausea and vomiting, or it may require a prescription, especially for longer-term use or for specific conditions. Consult a local pharmacist or doctor for clarification.
• Dosage and Administration: The dosage for Motilium syrup is usually based on body weight, especially in children. For adults and older children, typical doses may range from 10ml to 20ml up to three times a day. It is often recommended to take Motilium 15-30 minutes before meals. Always use the measuring spoon or cup provided with the syrup to ensure accurate dosing. Follow the instructions on the product packaging or as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.
• Potential Side Effects: Common side effects can include dry mouth, headache, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. Less common but more serious side effects, including effects on the heart, have been reported with higher doses or prolonged use. It’s important to use domperidone at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration.
• Important Precautions: Inform your doctor about any pre-existing heart conditions, liver problems, or if you are taking other medications, as interactions can occur. Domperidone should be used with caution in certain populations, such as the elderly and those with kidney problems. It is generally not recommended for long-term use.
