Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
The medicine inhibits dopamine receptors . This property, in combination with the gastrokinetic effect, determines the antiemetic effect of the drug.
When used internally, Motilium increases the pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter , accelerates gastric emptying and helps improve antroduodenal motility .
After taking on an empty stomach, the active substance of the drug is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract in a short time. The degree of absorption of domperidone is reduced due to a decrease in the acidity of gastric juice. plasma concentration is observed after approximately 0.5-1 hour. In people with moderate liver dysfunction it can be 1.5 times higher than in healthy people.
Absolute bioavailability is about 15%. When using the medicine after meals, the maximum concentration is reached later. In healthy people, bioavailability increases when taken after meals. If you have problems with the gastrointestinal tract, you should use the drug 15-30 minutes before meals.
The degree of binding of the active substance to plasma proteins is 91-93%. Once in the body, it undergoes rapid and active biotransformation in the liver through hydroxylation and N-dealkylation.
The drug is excreted 31% in urine and 66% in feces. About 11% of the active substance is excreted unchanged.
The plasma half-life after a single dose is 7-9 hours. In people with severe renal impairment, the half-life increases to 20.8 hours and plasma concentrations decrease. Only about 1% is excreted unchanged through the kidneys. In people with impaired liver function, the half-life is 15-23 hours.
Therapeutic effect
Motilium has the ability to eliminate nausea, stop vomiting, and gently activate intestinal motility. The active component of the drug, domperidone, exhibits some properties of an antipsychotic, suppressing sensitivity to dopamine. Unlike other inhibitors, it is more neutral: it does not cause dystonia, tremor, or nervous tics.
The drug increases the tone of muscle fibers and enhances contractions of the esophageal sphincter in its lower part. Thanks to this, the evacuation function of the stomach is normalized, signs of dyspepsia, indigestion, and other motility disorders and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract are eliminated.
The drug is absorbed by the mucous membranes within a few minutes and actively binds to blood proteins. Transformed by liver cells. It is excreted from the body by the kidneys and with intestinal contents within 0.5–1 days after administration.
Domperidone stimulates the release of prolactin. The secretion of gastric juice and its acidity are not affected. When consumed during or immediately after a meal, the effect of Motilium may slow down somewhat.
Indications for use of Motilium
Indications for the use of Motilium: vomiting, hiccups, nausea, atony and hypotension , cholecystitis , reflux esophagitis , peptic ulcers , the need to accelerate peristalsis before X-ray studies of the gastrointestinal tract, biliary dyskinesia cholangitis , flatulence .
As a component of complex treatment, the drug is taken for exacerbation of gastric and duodenal ulcers .
Indications for the use of Motilium for children: gastroesophageal reflux , cyclic vomiting, regurgitation syndrome .
Contraindications
The medicine has the following contraindications:
- bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, perforation , mechanical obstruction ;
- prolactinoma;
- negative reaction of the body to the components of the drug;
- severe or moderate liver dysfunction
The drug should be taken with caution in case of kidney dysfunction , as well as cardiac and disorders .
It is advisable to consult a specialist about possible contraindications to the use of the medicine.
Side effects
The following side effects are possible when taking this medicine:
- endocrine system: amenorrhea , hyperprolactinemia (in rare cases can cause galactorrhea ), gynecomastia ;
- Gastrointestinal tract: spasms in the intestines;
- allergies : urticaria , rash;
- nervous system: extrapyramidal disorders .
Negative effects are observed only in extremely rare cases.
Side effects and interactions
When treating with Motilium, caution should be exercised when using antacids and agents that reduce secretory activity. It is recommended to separate them by time.
The simultaneous use of antifungal drugs, some drugs against HIV infection and macrolides contributes to the prolonged presence of Motilium in the blood. This is important to consider for people with impaired liver and endocrine system functions.
Most patients tolerate therapy well. In rare cases, the drug may cause menstrual irregularities or gynemastia due to changes in prolactin levels in women.
In case of an overdose, spasms in the intestinal area, loss of appetite, drowsiness, and an unpleasant taste in the mouth are likely to occur.
Instructions for use of Motilium (Method and dosage)
The instructions for use of Motilium indicate that the dosage regimen may vary depending on whether the tablets or suspension are used in each specific case.
In case of chronic dyspepsia, adults need to take the medicine 10 mg (1 tablet) on an empty stomach 3 times a day. If necessary, you can use the drug before bedtime. For those who use Motilium suspension and tablets, the instructions for use do not recommend exceeding the daily dosage of 80 mg.
Children are given syrup in a dosage of 2.5 ml of medicine per 10 kg of weight. This should be done 3 times a day on an empty stomach. If necessary, take the medicine before bedtime.

Pharmacodynamics
Domperidone? dopamine antagonist with antiemetic properties. Domperidone does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB) well. The use of domperidone is very rarely accompanied by extrapyramidal side effects, especially in adults, but domperidone stimulates the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland. The antiemetic effect is possibly due to a combination of peripheral (gastrokinetic) action and antagonism to dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone, located outside the BBB in the area postrema. Animal studies, as well as low concentrations of domperidone found in the brain, indicate a predominantly peripheral effect of domperidone on dopamine receptors. When taken orally in humans, domperidone increases lower esophageal sphincter pressure, improves antroduodenal motility, and accelerates gastric emptying. Domperidone has no effect on gastric secretion.
Pharmacokinetics
Domperidone is rapidly absorbed after oral administration on an empty stomach, with maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax) achieved within 30? 60 min. The low absolute bioavailability of domperidone when taken orally (approximately 15%) is associated with extensive first-pass metabolism in the intestinal wall and liver. Although the bioavailability of domperidone in healthy people increases when taken after meals, patients with gastrointestinal complaints should take domperidone 15 times a day. 30 minutes before meals. A decrease in gastric acidity leads to a decrease in the absorption of domperidone. Oral bioavailability is reduced by prior administration of cimetidine and sodium bicarbonate. When taking the drug after a meal, achieving maximum absorption requires more time and area under the curve “concentration of the active substance? time" (AUC) increases slightly. When taken orally, domperidone does not accumulate and does not induce its own metabolism; the maximum plasma concentration of 21 ng/ml 90 minutes after oral administration of the drug at a dose of 30 mg per day was almost the same as the maximum plasma concentration of 18 ng/ml after taking the first dose. Domperidone binds to plasma proteins by 91? 93%. Animal distribution studies using radiolabeled drug showed significant tissue distribution but low concentrations in the brain. Small amounts of the drug crossed the placenta in rats. Domperidone undergoes rapid and extensive metabolism in the liver by hydroxylation and N-dealkylation. In vitro metabolism studies using diagnostic inhibitors have shown that CYP3A4 is the main form of cytochrome P450 involved in the N-dealkylation of domperidone, while CYP3A4, CYP1A2 and CYP2E1 are involved in the aromatic hydroxylation of domperidone. Excretion in urine and feces is 31% and 66% of the oral dose, respectively. The proportion of the drug excreted unchanged is small (10% of the amount excreted in the feces and approximately 1% of the amount excreted in the urine). The half-life from blood plasma after a single oral dose is 7? 9 hours in healthy people, but increases in patients with severe renal failure. In patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Pugh score 7 × 9, Child-Pugh class B), the AUC and Cmax of domperidone are 2.9 and 1.5 times higher than in healthy subjects, respectively. The unbound fraction increases by 25% and the terminal half-life increases from 15 to 23 hours. In patients with mild hepatic impairment, systemic exposure is slightly reduced compared with that in healthy subjects based on AUC and Cmax values, without changes in protein binding or terminal half-life. No studies have been conducted in patients with severe hepatic impairment (see Contraindications section). In patients with severe renal impairment (serum creatinine level > 6 mg/100 ml, i.e. > 0.6 mmol/l) half-life Domperidone increases from 7.4 to 20.8 hours, but plasma drug concentrations are lower than in people with normal renal function. A small amount of unchanged drug (about 1%) is excreted by the kidneys (see section “Dosage and Administration”). Data on pharmacokinetics in children are not available.
Indications for use
Adults and children over 12 years of age: Relief of symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
Directions for use and doses
Motillion Pharmland should be used at the minimum effective dose for the shortest period of time necessary to control nausea and vomiting. It is recommended to take orally before meals. When taken after meals, the absorption of domperidone slows down. It is recommended to take the drug at the time prescribed by the doctor. If a dose is missed, the next dose of the drug must be taken at the usual time. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed dose. The medicine should not be used for more than one week. Adults and children (12 years and older and/or weighing 35 kg or more). One 10 mg tablet 3 times a day. The maximum daily dose is 30 mg. Children (under 12 years of age and/or weighing less than 35 kg). Due to the need for precise dosing, tablets are not suitable for use in children and adolescents weighing less than 35 kg. Impaired liver function Motillion Pharmland is contraindicated in case of moderate and severe impairment of liver function (see section "Contraindications"). Dose adjustment is not required for mild impairment of liver function. Impaired renal function Since the half-life of domperidone increases in severe renal impairment, when repeated use, the frequency of taking Motillion Pharmland should be reduced to 1-2 times a day depending on the severity of the impairment, and a dose reduction may also be required.
Use during pregnancy and lactation
Pregnancy Data on the use of domperidone in pregnant women are limited. Animal studies have shown reproductive toxicity at maternally toxic doses. Motillion Pharmland should be used during pregnancy only in cases where the expected therapeutic benefit to the mother outweighs the risk to the fetus. Breastfeeding period Domperidone is excreted in breast milk. The child receives in breast milk less than 0.1% of the dosage taken by the mother, adjusted for body weight. The possibility of developing side effects, in particular from the heart, cannot be excluded. If it is unavoidable to prescribe domperidone, a decision should be made to stop breastfeeding. Given the benefits of breastfeeding, domperidone therapy should be discontinued. If it is necessary to prescribe domperidone, it is necessary to evaluate the likely benefits of therapy for the woman and the negative consequences of stopping breastfeeding for the child. Caution should be exercised if there are risk factors for QTc prolongation in breastfed infants.
Precautionary measures
Impaired renal function In severe renal impairment, the half-life of domperidone increases. The frequency of taking the drug Motillion Pharmland in case of severe renal failure should be reduced to 1? 2 times a day, depending on the severity of the disorders, a dose reduction may also be required. Cardiovascular Effects Domperidone has been associated with prolongation of the QT interval on the ECG. During post-marketing surveillance, rare cases of QT prolongation and torsades de pointes have been reported in patients taking domperidone. These cases included information on patients with various risk factors, electrolyte abnormalities, and concomitant medications that increase risk factors. Epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk of serious ventricular arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death with domperidone use. Risk factors were: age over 60 years, use of a daily dose of more than 30 mg, simultaneous use of drugs that cause prolongation of the QT interval or are CYP3A4 inhibitors. Domperidone should be used in adults and children at the minimum effective dose. Domperidone is contraindicated in patients with a history of cardiac conduction slowing, especially QTc prolongation; in patients with significant electrolyte disturbances (hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, hypomagnesemia), bradycardia; in patients with heart disease (for example, chronic heart failure) due to an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia. Electrolyte disturbances (hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, hypomagnesemia) or bradycardia are risk factors for arrhythmia. If symptoms of arrhythmia occur, you should immediately stop taking domperidone and consult a doctor. Concomitant use with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors: Concomitant use with ketoconazole (orally), erythromycin, or other strong CYP3A4 inhibitors known to prolong the QTc interval is contraindicated. Excipients Motillion Pharmland tablets contain lactose. It is not recommended to take this drug in patients with rare hereditary diseases: lactose intolerance, lactase deficiency or glucose/galactose malabsorption.
Interaction with other drugs
Increased risk of QT interval prolongation due to pharmacodynamic and/or pharmacokinetic interactions. The simultaneous use of the following drugs is contraindicated due to prolongation of the QT interval: Class IA antiarrhythmic drugs (for example, disopyramide, hydroquinidine, quinidine); Class IIIA antiarrhythmic drugs (eg, amiodarone, dofetilide, dronedarone, ibutilide, sotalol); Some antipsychotic drugs (eg, haloperidol, pimozide, sertindole); Some antidepressants (eg, citalopram, escitalopram); Certain antibiotics (eg, erythromycin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, spiramycin); Some antifungals (eg, pentamidine); Some antimalarials (in particular, halofantrine, lumefantrine); Certain gastrointestinal medications (eg, cisapride, dolasetron, prucalopride); Some antihistamines (eg, mequitazine, mizolastine); Certain drugs used for cancer (eg, toremifene, vandetanib, vincamine); Certain other medications (eg, bepridil, difemanil, methadone) (see Contraindications section). Potent CYP3A4 inhibitors (regardless of their effect on the QT interval), for example: protease inhibitors; systemic antifungal drugs from the azole group; some macrolides (erythromycin, clarithromycin, telithromycin) (see section “Contraindications”). Concomitant use of the following drugs is not recommended: moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as diltiazem, verapamil and some macrolides (see section "Contraindications"). The simultaneous use of the following drugs requires caution: drugs that cause bradycardia and/or hypokalemia; some macrolides that can provoke a prolongation of the QT interval: azithromycin and roxithromycin (clarithromycin is contraindicated because it is a strong CYP3A4 inhibitor). The above list of substances is not exhaustive.
Contraindications
hypersensitivity to domperidone or any of the components of the drug; prolactin-secreting tumor of the pituitary gland (prolactinoma); gastrointestinal bleeding, mechanical obstruction or perforation, in which stimulation of gastric motility may be dangerous; simultaneous use with drugs that cause prolongation of the QT interval; simultaneous use with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (regardless of their effect on the QT interval); patients with moderate to severe liver dysfunction; cardiac conduction disturbances, especially prolongation of the QT interval, as well as significant electrolyte imbalances or the presence of heart disease, such as chronic heart failure.

What is better - Motilium or Motilak?
find out which is better Motilium or Motilak only by experience. The active ingredient of both drugs is domperidone . Motilium is available in tablets and suspension form, while Motilak is available only in tablet form. The composition of the auxiliary components of the drugs is different, so if you have an individual intolerance to any of them, only one drug will do.
Both drugs normalize and prolong gastrointestinal motility , relieve vomiting and nausea. In addition, they help eliminate heartburn , flatulence and belching .
The difference between them is also the cost. Motilium costs 2-3 times more than Motilak . People who have taken both drugs claim that there is no qualitative difference between them.
During pregnancy (and lactation)
data on the effect of the drug during pregnancy . There is no information about the risk to the fetus. However, it is advisable to allow the drug during pregnancy only if the benefit of treatment is greater than the potential threat to the fetus.
When breastfeeding, the concentration of the active substance of the drug is 10-50% of its level in the blood . It is not known whether the drug has negative effects on newborns. Taking the drug is also possible only if the benefit to the mother is greater than the possible risk to the baby.
Interactions of the drug Motilium
Anticholinergic drugs may counteract the effects of Motilium. Antacid and antisecretory drugs, when taken simultaneously with Motilium, reduce its bioavailability. When used simultaneously with ketoconazole (a cytochrome P450 inhibitor), which inhibits the primary metabolism of domperidone, there is a 3-fold increase in the maximum concentration of domperidone and an increase in AUC in the plateau phase. As a result, it is not recommended to prescribe azole drugs, macrolides, HIV protease inhibitors, and nefazodone simultaneously with domperidone. Also, when used with ketoconazole, an increase in the QT by 10-20 ms may be observed. Digoxin and paracetamol, when used simultaneously with domperidone, do not affect the level of these drugs. Motilium mezhet combines with: • neuroleptics, enhances their effect. • dopamine agonists (levodopa, bromocriptine).
Reviews about Motilium
Reviews of Motilium characterize the drug as a highly effective, fast-acting remedy. It is very popular among consumers. Reviews of Motilium for children are also mostly positive. This remedy is often recommended by pediatricians, but not for infants. In the latter case, the effect of the drug has not been studied. In addition, the medicine is rarely used by nursing mothers, since its harm to lactation has not been studied.
Among the negative aspects, those who took Motilium note only a slightly inflated cost.
