Motilium contains the active ingredient domperidone, which helps address issues like nausea and vomiting by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain and gut. This medication is suitable for individuals experiencing digestive issues such as delayed stomach emptying. Motilium can help improve your digestive symptoms and overall comfort, especially if you have conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or gastroparesis.
About Motilium
Dosage and usage
You should take one tablet of Motilium (10mg) three to four times a day before meals. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 80mg. If you miss a dose, you can take it as soon as you remember, but do not double the dose to make up for a missed one. The effects of Motilium can last up to 24 hours, so ensure you space out your doses evenly. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, contact your healthcare provider promptly.
What Motilium contains
Each Motilium tablet contains 10mg of domperidone as the active ingredient. The other components include lactose, maize starch, microcrystalline cellulose, pregelatinized potato starch, povidone, sodium laurilsulfate, and talc. The tablet coating consists of hypromellose, macrogol 400, titanium dioxide (E171), and red and yellow iron oxides (E172).
Side effects
Common side effects of Motilium may include headache, dry mouth, and abdominal cramps. Serious side effects like irregular heartbeat, seizures, or allergic reactions are rare but require immediate medical attention. If you notice any signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or breathing difficulties, seek medical help right away.
Precautions
Do not take Motilium if you have a known allergy to domperidone or any other ingredients in the tablets. This medication is not suitable for individuals with gastrointestinal bleeding, mechanical obstruction, or perforation. If you have liver or kidney problems, consult your doctor before using Motilium. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should also avoid this medication. If you are taking other medications that may interact with Motilium, such as certain antifungal or antibiotic drugs, talk to your healthcare provider before starting this treatment.

I am so grateful to Doctoronline.co.uk and I can’t express my appreciation enough, as they were there when I couldn’t get an appointment with my own NHS GP here in London.They are absolutely amazing and they have taken away the stress and anxiety that I felt when I needed a GP appointment and the thought of going through the whole process and worrying about missing a telephone call from my GP practice because I was working and knowing they wouldn’t call back .
Excellent service.

Very efficient
Very efficient. The website order form was simple and easy to follow. I couldn't get a doctor's appointment for a medication I have previously been prescribed so I opted to buy from this company instead. The price was reasonable and the medication worked perfectly and quickly and eradicated the problem, I'm back to good health again. It arrived quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again if necessary when I can't get a doctor's appointment.
