Domperidone Pellets 10% w/w
Domperidone is a commonly used antiemetic and gastro-kinetic drug with its appearance being white to light yellow powder and bitter taste. It is almost insoluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, easily soluble in lactic acid as well as soluble in citrate. This product is a kind of peripheral dopamine receptor antagonists with strong action. Domperidone can block the DA1 and DA2 receptor next to the synapses, antagonizing the inhibitory effect of dopamine on the postsynaptic cholinergic neurons of myenteric plexus and causing the stomach contractions. It can promote the motility and tension of digestive tract motility to return to normal function, promoting the emptying of stomach, increasing the motility of gastric antral and duodenum, coordinating the contraction of the pylorus as well as enhancing the esophageal peristalsis and the tension of the lower esophageal sphincter. Because it has a poor penetration capability through the blood - brain barrier with almost no antagonism on the dopamine receptor, you can rule out the side effects of spirit and the central nervous system side.
