Nausea and Vomiting Treatment with Motilium Medicines
Posted: Jul 26, 2014
Belonging to the dopamine antagonist group of medicines, Motilium is a reliable treatment for nausea, vomiting, fullness feeling bloating among other indigestion - related issues. The medicine is prescribed for a known cause of the above conditions.
The medicinal use of this medication is treating the slow movement of the gastrointestinal tract, which is associated with gastritis and diabetes.
How it works
Domperidone is the active ingredient contained in the Motilium tablets. This makes it an anti-sickness medicine that can relieve discomforts like bloating and reflux in adults. This medicine works by inhibiting the dopamine receptors that are at the upper end of the digestive system. In the process, the stomach entry muscles tighten while those at the exit relax increasing the stomach contractions. The passage of food is speeded up and correctly passed through the stomach thus reducing the chances for feeling sick or vomiting, fullness or bloating.
Additionally, the medicine blocks certain dopamine receptors in the brain. These are responsible for receiving messages sent when an irritation occurs in the stomach thus sending a message to the vomiting center within the brain.
This treatment could be very useful for those having a problem to swallow tablets by mouth.
