Studies in diabetic gastroparesis or symptoms secondary to chemotherapy or parkinsonism were excluded.The following frequencies are used for the description of the occurrence of adverse reactions:Very common (≥1/10); common (≥1/100 to <1/10); uncommon (≥1/1,000 to <1/100); rare (≥1/10,000 to <1/1,000); very rare (<1/10,000),Where frequency cannot be estimated from clinical trials data, it is recorded as “Not known”.Anaphylactic reaction (including anaphylactic shock)In 45 studies where domperidone was used at higher dosages, for longer duration and for additional indications including diabetic gastroparesis, the frequency of adverse events (apart from dry mouth) was considerably higher. The largest time-matched mean difference of QTcF between domperidone and placebo was 5.4 msec (95 % CI: -1.7 to 12.4) and 7.5msec (95 % CI: 0.6 to 14.4), respectively. Many medications can cause side effects.
This study included a placebo, an active comparator and a positive control and was conducted in healthy subjects with up to 80 mg per day 10 or 20 mg administered 4 times a day of domperidone. Domperidone should not be used when stimulation of gastric motility could be harmful: gastro-intestinal haemorrhage, mechanical obstruction or perforation.Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, total lactase deficiency or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medicine.Neurological side effects are rare (see "Undesirable effects" section). The median total daily dose was 30 mg (range 10 to 80 mg), and median duration of exposure was 28 days (range 1 to 28 days). Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the Yellow card scheme at: www.mhra.gov.uk/yellowcard or search for MHRA Yellow Card in the Google Play or Apple App Store. This risk may be more likely in those over 60 years old or taking doses higher than 30 mg per day. Continue typing to refine.
