Always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, herbal remedies, and supplements. This includes prescription medications, vitamins, and even seemingly innocuous products.
Specific Interactions to Note
Motilium (domperidone) can interact with certain medications. Here are some key examples:
- Antipsychotics: Combining Motilium with some antipsychotics might increase the risk of side effects. Discuss this with your doctor if you’re taking antipsychotics. Ketoconazole: This antifungal medication can significantly increase domperidone levels in the blood, potentially leading to adverse reactions. Avoid concurrent use unless specifically advised by your physician. Erythromycin and other macrolides: These antibiotics can also interact, potentially intensifying Motilium’s effects. Monitor for any unusual side effects. Certain medications affecting the liver: Liver impairment can affect how your body processes Motilium. Talk to your doctor if you have liver disease or take medications that affect liver function.
