Why is Motilium prescribed?

Motilium (Domperidone) is a medicine used to help feelings of nausea and/or subsequential vomiting caused by other drugs taken for Parkinson's disease. Domperidone is a dopamine antagonist and works to relieve problems occurring in the digestive system. Specifically, it works by tightening the muscles at the entrance of your stomach and relaxing the muscles at the exit of your stomach. Motilium can also be prescribed for other reasons. Speak to your doctor for more details.
