Product Description:
- Motil Fast is a dopamine receptor antagonist with antiemetic and prokinetic properties.
- Poorly crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB); its antiemetic effect is due to a combination of peripheral (gastrokinetic) action and antagonism toward dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone.
- Increases the duration of antral and duodenal contractions, accelerates gastric emptying, and increases lower esophageal sphincter pressure.
- Does not affect gastric secretion.
Indications for Use:
Relief of nausea and vomiting symptoms.
Method of Administration and Dosage:
- Method of Administration: oral.
- Dissolve the contents of the sachet in water and take 15–30 minutes before meals (absorption of domperidone may be delayed if taken after meals).
