It is not recommended to use the drug Domridon for the prevention of nausea and vomiting after anesthesia.
With prolonged therapy with the drug Domiridon, patients should be under regular supervision of a doctor.
Renal insufficiency
The half-life of domperidone increases with severe renal failure. When a single dose is not required to reduce dosage, but for course appointments, the frequency of reception should not exceed 1-2 times a day, depending on the severity of the insufficiency; a dose reduction may also be required.
Influence on the cardiovascular system
Domperidone may cause lengthening of the interval QT on the ECG. During post-marketing research in patients taking domperidone, in rare cases there was an increase in the interval QT and the occurrence of ventricular tachycardia as pirouette. These adverse reactions were noted mainly in patients with risk factors, with severe electrolyte disturbances or concomitantly taking drugs, increasing the interval QT.
In some studies, it was shown,that the use of domperidone may lead to an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia or sudden coronary death (especially in patients over 60 years of age or with a single dose of more than 30 mg, as well as in patients taking simultaneous drugs increasing the range QT, or inhibitors CYP3A4).
The use of domperidone and other drugs that can cause lengthening of the interval QT, contraindicated in patients who are experiencing an elongation of the intervals of cardiac conduction, especially the interval QT, in patients with severe electrolyte disorders (hypo- and hyperkalemia, hypomagnesemia) or in patients with heart disease, such as chronic heart failure. It was shown that the presence of electrolyte disorders (hypo- and hyperkalemia, hypomagnesemia) and bradycardia in the patient may increase the risk of arrhythmia.
Reception of domperidone should be discontinued if any symptoms occur that may be associated with a heart rhythm disorder. In this case it is necessary to consult a doctor.
Joint application with levodopa
Despite the fact that dose adjustment of levodopa is not required, with its joint application with domperidone, an increase in the concentration of levodopa in the blood plasma (up to 30-40%) was observed.
Joint application with antipsychotics
The drug Domridon intensifies the action of neuroleptics with simultaneous application.
Joint application with agonists of dopaminergic receptors
With simultaneous use with dopaminergic agonists receptors (bromocriptine, levodopa), the drug Domridon depresses their unwanted peripheral effects, such as digestive disorders, nausea and vomiting, without affecting their central effects.
The drug is recommended to take in the minimum effective dose.
