Interaction

Domperidone may reduce the risk of hypoprolactinemic effect of bromocriptine and cabergoline. The action of Domperidone on GI function may be antagonized by antimuscarinics and opioid analgesics.

Contraindications

Domperidone is contraindicated in patients having known hypersensitivity to this drug and in case of neonates.

Side Effects

Domperidone may produce hyperprolactinemia (1.3%). This may result in galactorrhea, gynaecomastia (breast enlargement), soreness and reduced libido. Dry mouth (1.9%), thirst, headache (1.2%), nervousness, drowsiness (0.4%), diarrhoea (0.2%), skin rash and itching (0.1%) may occur during treatment with Domperidone. Extra-pyramidal reactions are seen in 0.25% of patients in clinical studies.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Pregnant women: The safety of Domperidone has not been proven and it is therefore not recommended during pregnancy. Animal studies have not demonstrated teratogenic effects on the fetus. 
Lactating mother : Domperidone may precipitate galactorrhea and improve post-natal location. It is secreted in breast milk but in very small quantities insufficient to be considered harmful. 

Precautions & Warnings

Domperidone should be used with absolute caution in case of children because there may be an increased risk of extra-pyramidal reactions in young children because of an incompletely developed blood-brain barrier. Since Domperidone is highly metabolized in liver, it should be used with caution in patient with hepatic impairment.

Overdose Effects

There are no reported cases of overdosage.
