Omidon Suspension 100ml

Omidon Suspension is a medication that belongs to the class of dopamine antagonists. It is primarily used to treat nausea and vomiting in adults and adolescents 12 years and older. It can also be used for the treatment of indigestion. Here are some key points about Omidon Suspension:

• Omidon Suspension contains the active ingredient domperidone, which works by blocking certain receptors in the brain, including dopamine and serotonin receptors, to prevent nausea and vomiting.
• In addition to its antiemetic effects, domperidone also acts as a prokinetic agent, which means it increases the motility of the upper gastrointestinal tract and helps in reducing stomach emptying time.
• It is important to take Omidon Suspension as prescribed by your doctor. Nausea and vomiting symptoms usually resolve within 3-4 days of treatment. If symptoms persist beyond this time, you should stop taking the medication and consult your doctor.
• The most common side effect of Omidon Suspension is dry mouth, which is usually temporary and resolves on its own. If the side effect persists or becomes bothersome, it is advisable to contact your doctor.
• It is essential not to take Omidon Suspension for longer than seven days without consulting your doctor.
• Individuals who are hypersensitive to any components present in Omidon Suspension should avoid taking the medication. It is important to inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems before starting treatment with Omidon Suspension.
• Prolonged use of Omidon Suspension may be associated with an increased risk of heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmia) and cardiac arrest (heart attack). This risk may be higher in elderly individuals (above 60 years old) or those taking doses higher than 30 mg daily.
• Omidon Suspension is generally not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, in some cases, domperidone may be used to increase milk supply during breastfeeding, but only if deemed necessary by a physician. It is important to consult your doctor for advice before taking this medication if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Adolescents (children aged 12-18 years) weighing less than 35 kg should not be given Omidon Suspension.
