Description

Act-On 10mg tablets contain Domperidone, a widely used antiemetic and gastroprokinetic agent that helps control nausea and vomiting. Domperidone works by blocking dopamine receptors in the gut, promoting motility, and reducing nausea. It is commonly prescribed for patients experiencing nausea, vomiting, and symptoms of upper abdominal discomfort, including fullness and bloating. Act-On is particularly useful in treating gastrointestinal disorders such as gastritis and diabetes-related digestive disturbances, making it a key part of managing conditions that involve slow gastric emptying.

Functions

The primary function of Act-On 10mg is to relieve nausea, vomiting, and upper abdominal discomfort such as fullness and bloating. Domperidone, the active ingredient, works by enhancing the movement of food through the stomach and intestines, reducing the sensation of fullness and helping the body expel excess gas. It can also be used to treat gastrointestinal motility disorders and is effective for diabetic gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying) and conditions like gastritis that cause discomfort in the upper abdominal region.

Precautions

Before using Act-On, consult with your healthcare provider if you have any of the following conditions:

• Kidney impairment (renal disease) or liver problems, as Domperidone should be used with caution.
• Cardiac conditions, including any history of heart arrhythmias, since the medication may affect heart function.
• Electrolyte disturbances such as low potassium or magnesium levels.
• Prolactinoma (a benign tumor in the pituitary gland) should avoid this medication, as Domperidone can increase prolactin levels.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid using this medication unless specifically prescribed by their doctor.

Always discuss your full medical history with your doctor before starting Act-On.

Side Effects

While Act-On 10mg tablets are generally well tolerated, some side effects may occur. These can include:

• Gastrointestinal disturbances such as stomach upset, nausea, or cramping.
• Elevated prolactin levels, which can lead to symptoms like breast tenderness, milk production, or menstrual irregularities in women.
• Heart-related side effects, such as abnormal heart rhythms in rare cases.
• Dizziness, headache, or fatigue in some users.

If you experience severe or persistent side effects, especially any heart-related symptoms or unusual changes in your body, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

Cautions

Act-On should be used with caution in the following situations:

• Pregnancy and lactation: Research suggests that Domperidone should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to potential risks to the fetus or infant.
• Heart conditions: Patients with heart problems, especially those with arrhythmias or those taking other medications that affect heart rhythm, should consult a doctor before use.
• Electrolyte imbalance: Domperidone should be used cautiously in individuals with electrolyte disturbances such as low potassium or magnesium levels.
• Renal or hepatic impairment: Dose adjustments may be needed for patients with kidney or liver problems, and close monitoring is advised.
