Dosage/Direction for Use
Domperidone should be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time.
Domperidone should be taken 15 to 30 minutes before meals. If taken after meals, absorption of the drug is somewhat delayed.
The tablets must be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew them.
Recommended dose for adults and adolescents 12 years and older weighing ≥35 kg: 1 tablet (10 mg) up to 3 times a day.
Maximum dose in 24 hours: 30 mg.
Or, as directed by a physician.
Use in Renal Impairment: It is unlikely that the dose of a single administration needs to be adjusted in patients with renal insufficiency. However, on repeated administration, the dosing frequency of domperidone should be reduced to once or twice a day depending on the severity of the impairment.
The dose may need to be reduced as well. Patients with renal impairment on prolonged domperidone therapy should be reviewed regularly.
The maximum treatment duration should not usually exceed one week.
Domperidone is unsuitable for use in children (less than 12 years old) and adolescents weighing less than 35 kg.
