Omidon Tablet

Dyspeptic symptom complex, often linked with delayed gastric emptying, gastroesophageal reflux, and esophagitis, may include:

• Epigastric sensation of fullness
• Abdominal distension
• Upper abdominal pain
• Belching
• Flatulence
• Early satiety
• Nausea and vomiting
• Heartburn, with or without regurgitation of gastric contents into the mouth

These symptoms can occur in various conditions, such as non-ulcer dyspepsia, acute nausea and vomiting of functional, organic, infectious, dietetic origin, or induced by radiotherapy, drug therapy, or migraine. Additionally, in Parkinson's disease, it can manifest as dopamine-agonist induced nausea and vomiting. For radiological studies, it can be used to speed up barium transit in follow-through radiological examinations.

Motility Stimulants, Motility stimulants/Dopamine antagonist, Prokinetic drugs

Omidon 10 mg functions as a dopamine receptor antagonist. It exerts gastroprokinetic action by inhibiting dopamine receptors found in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) and the stomach. Its limited ability to cross the blood-brain barrier means it has minimal impact on dopaminergic receptors in the brain, thus avoiding psychotropic and neurological side effects.

For adults, the recommended dosage is 10-20 mg every 4-8 hours daily. Children should take 0.2-0.4 mg/kg every 4-8 hours daily. When used for acute nausea and vomiting, the maximum treatment duration should not exceed 12 weeks. It is advisable to take this medication 15-30 minutes before a meal.
