Domnic (Piramal) Suspension 30 Ml

Domnic Suspension contains domperidone as its active ingredient, which is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of nausea, vomiting, and indigestion. Domperidone acts by blocking dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone, thereby reducing the sensation of nausea and preventing vomiting. Additionally, it enhances gastrointestinal motility by increasing the contractions of the stomach and intestines, which facilitates the passage of food and helps alleviate symptoms of indigestion.

This medication is intended for pediatric use and must be administered under adult supervision. It should be given strictly as directed by a physician, adhering to the prescribed dosage, frequency, and duration of treatment. For optimal absorption and efficacy, Domnic Suspension is typically administered before meals.

Prior to initiating treatment, it is important to inform the prescribing doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions or a comprehensive medical history of the child to ensure safe and appropriate use.
