Product Details
Motilium-V Tablets contain Domperidone Maleate, a medication specifically formulated to manage nausea and vomiting. Domperidone works by enhancing the movement of the stomach and intestines, helping to prevent vomiting and promote smooth digestion. It achieves its antiemetic effects by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain's chemoreceptor trigger zone, reducing feelings of nausea.
