DOMPAN TAB

About

DOMPAN TAB contains Domperidone, a potent dopamine antagonist that functions as both a prokinetic and an antiemetic agent. Its primary action involves blocking dopamine receptors located in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) in the brain and in the gastrointestinal tract. This dual mechanism helps to suppress nausea and vomiting while simultaneously enhancing the motility of the stomach and upper intestine.

By accelerating gastric emptying and improving the coordination of gastrointestinal contractions, DOMPAN TAB effectively relieves symptoms such as indigestion, bloating, and a feeling of fullness. It also increases the tone of the lower esophageal sphincter, which helps to prevent the reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus. This makes it a valuable treatment for various dyspeptic symptoms and conditions characterized by impaired gastrointestinal motility, providing significant relief and improving digestive comfort.
