While Motilium generally offers safe and effective relief from nausea and vomiting, some individuals experience side effects. These are usually mild and temporary. Common side effects include drowsiness, dry mouth, and constipation.
Drowsiness: Avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel sleepy after taking Motilium. Consider taking the medication at bedtime to minimize daytime sleepiness.
Dry mouth: Drink plenty of water to alleviate dryness. Sugar-free candies or gum may also provide relief.
Constipation: Increase your fluid and fiber intake to prevent or ease constipation. Consult your doctor if constipation persists.
Serious side effects are rare but require immediate medical attention. These include allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing), rapid heartbeat, and unusual muscle movements.
Precautions: Motilium is not suitable for everyone. Inform your doctor about all your medical conditions, including liver or kidney problems, Parkinson’s disease, and epilepsy, before taking Motilium. Pregnancy and breastfeeding also necessitate a discussion with your physician before commencing treatment. Always follow the prescribed dosage. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Children should only use Motilium under strict medical supervision.
