Domperidone, while helpful for some, can cause side effects. Common ones include headache, diarrhea, and dizziness. Less frequent, but still possible, are restlessness and breast enlargement in men. Rare but serious side effects exist, including irregular heartbeats (QT prolongation). Seek immediate medical attention if you experience these.
Certain medications interact negatively with Domperidone. Strong inhibitors of the CYP3A4 enzyme, like ketoconazole and erythromycin, increase Domperidone levels, potentially raising the risk of side effects. Concurrently using these drugs necessitates careful monitoring by your doctor, and possibly dosage adjustments.
Always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, before starting Domperidone. This includes herbal remedies, as some may interact unpredictably. Open communication ensures safer use.
