Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

The pharmacological action of domperidone, the active substance of Motijekt, is due to the blockade of peripheral and central dopamine receptors, as a result of which the inhibitory effect of the neurotransmitter dopamine on the peristalsis and motor activity of the digestive system is suppressed. The drug stimulates the motor and evacuation activity of the stomach, thereby eliminating nausea, hiccups and has an antiemetic effect. Domperidone increases the concentration of lactogenic hormone in the blood serum.

Pharmacokinetics

The active substance is rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract when taken orally on an empty stomach. The food in the stomach, as well as the low acidity of the gastric juice, slow down and reduce absorption. The maximum content of domperidone in blood plasma occurs approximately 60 minutes after ingestion. Bioavailability after the effect of the first pass through the liver is about 15%. 90% of the substance binds to blood plasma proteins. Domperidone has the ability to penetrate into various tissues of the body, its passage through the blood-brain barrier is weak. Metabolism occurs through hydroxylation and N-dealkylation reactions in the liver and in the intestinal wall. The drug is excreted in the following proportions: 66% - through the intestines, 33% - by the kidneys, including in unchanged form - 10 and 1%, respectively. Half-life (T_1/2) - from 7 to 9 hours (increases with severe renal dysfunction).

Indications for use

• DVP (biliary dyskinesia);
• atony and hypotension of the gastrointestinal tract (including postoperative);
