Consult your doctor before using Domperidone, especially if you have heart conditions or are taking other medications.
Domperidone can cause side effects, though many people experience none. Common side effects include mild headache and diarrhea. These usually resolve without intervention. If they persist or worsen, contact your physician.
More serious, though rare, side effects include prolonged QT interval, a heart rhythm abnormality. This is more likely in patients with pre-existing heart conditions or those taking certain medications. Regular check-ups with your doctor, including EKG monitoring if deemed necessary, are advisable.
| Ketoconazole, Erythromycin | Increased Domperidone levels | Dosage adjustment may be needed. Discuss with your doctor. |
| Certain antiarrhythmics | Increased risk of QT prolongation | Avoid concomitant use unless specifically advised by your cardiologist. |
| Other medications metabolized by the liver | Potential for altered drug levels | Inform your doctor of all other medications you are taking. |
If you experience any unusual symptoms while taking Domperidone, seek immediate medical attention. This includes unusual heart palpitations or dizziness.
Always follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage and instructions. Never exceed the recommended dose.
