Motilium 10 mg Film-Coated Tablets

Motilium is a branded film-coated tablet containing domperidone. We offer the oral tablets at a strength of 10 mg in quantities ranging from 10 to 360 tablets. Because every available option has the same active ingredient, strength and dosage form, the main purchasing choices are the number of tablets and the delivery service. Pack quantity does not change the recommended dose or make a longer treatment course appropriate.

What Motilium Is and How It Works

Domperidone belongs to a class of medicines known as dopamine antagonists. It blocks dopamine receptors mainly outside the brain, including receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone involved in nausea and vomiting. It also increases movement in the stomach and upper digestive tract. Its limited penetration into the brain gives it a lower tendency to cause movement-related adverse effects than dopamine antagonists that enter the central nervous system more readily, although it has other important risks and is not suitable for everyone.

Motilium 10 mg tablets are used for the short-term relief of nausea and vomiting in adults and in adolescents aged 12 years or older who weigh at least 35 kg. Current UK restrictions limit domperidone to this purpose, at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration. It should not be used simply to improve digestion, prevent symptoms over a long period or treat conditions for which it has not been recommended.

Domperidone usually starts to work within about 30 to 60 minutes. Persistent nausea or vomiting, symptoms that repeatedly return, or an inability to keep fluids down may require assessment of the underlying cause rather than continued anti-sickness treatment. Severe abdominal pain, blood in vomit, black stools, confusion or signs of dehydration warrant prompt medical attention.

Usual Dosing, Timing and Duration

The established regimen for eligible adults and adolescents is one 10 mg tablet up to three times a day, with a maximum total dose of 30 mg in 24 hours. Tablets are generally taken 15 to 30 minutes before meals because absorption can be delayed when domperidone is taken after food. They should be swallowed with water and taken at reasonably spaced intervals rather than using extra tablets to compensate for a missed dose.

Treatment is usually limited to no more than one week. The dose and duration limits are important because domperidone can prolong the heart's QT interval and, rarely, cause serious ventricular arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death. Risk rises with higher daily doses, longer exposure, older age and certain underlying conditions or interacting medicines. This general regimen is educational information rather than an individual dosing decision; users should follow the instructions provided for their own circumstances.

Who Needs Extra Caution

Domperidone 10 mg tablets are not suitable for children under 12 years of age or adolescents weighing less than 35 kg. They are contraindicated in people with known QT prolongation, significant electrolyte disturbances, underlying cardiac disease such as congestive heart failure, or moderate to severe liver impairment. They must also not be used when stimulating movement of the stomach could be harmful, including gastrointestinal bleeding, mechanical obstruction or perforation. A prolactin-releasing pituitary tumour is another contraindication.

A medicine review is particularly important for people aged over 60 and for anyone with kidney disease, a slow or irregular heartbeat, low potassium or magnesium levels, or a history of fainting associated with heart rhythm problems. Domperidone can interact with medicines that prolong the QT interval and with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors that raise domperidone concentrations. Examples include certain azole antifungals, macrolide antibiotics, HIV medicines, heart medicines, antidepressants and antipsychotics. A pharmacist or prescriber should check the complete medicine list, including recently started treatments, rather than relying on an example list alone.

Use during pregnancy should be considered only when the anticipated benefit justifies the potential risk. Domperidone passes into breast milk, and a clinician should help decide whether to avoid treatment or stop breastfeeding. There is no established diabetes-specific contraindication or recognised cross-reactivity with common medicine-allergen groups, but the tablets must not be taken by anyone allergic to domperidone or an excipient. Some formulations contain lactose, which may matter to people with particular sugar intolerances. UK product information describes no or negligible influence on driving, but anyone who feels unwell should avoid driving until able to do so safely.

Pack Sizes and What You Are Ordering

Every option we list contains Motilium 10 mg film-coated tablets for oral use. We offer quantities of 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 270 and 360 tablets. Check both the 10 mg strength and the selected tablet count before completing checkout, particularly when comparing adjacent quantities.

The usual maximum regimen could require up to 21 tablets for a full seven-day course, although an individual may be told to use fewer tablets or stop sooner. A quantity of 10 tablets may therefore cover only part of a maximum-dose course, while larger quantities can substantially exceed the amount used during one usual treatment period. Selecting a larger pack does not support taking more than 30 mg a day, continuing beyond one week or repeatedly restarting treatment without clinical review. Consider the course actually advised, existing tablets on hand and the expiry date instead of choosing on quantity alone.

If gut-related symptoms are a recurring concern rather than a one-off episode, our Gastrointestinal Tract range provides a useful place to view other relevant options. Different anti-sickness medicines are not automatically interchangeable: their indications, side effects, interactions and suitability can differ according to the cause of symptoms and the patient's medical history.

Ordering Motilium Through Us

Domperidone is classified as a prescription-only medicine in the United Kingdom, and its authorised use is restricted to short-term relief of nausea and vomiting at the lowest effective dose. Separately from that UK classification, our ordering policy does not require customers to submit a prescription for us to accept an order for this product. Pack selection and payment can therefore be completed without uploading a prescription through our checkout.

We accept major payment cards and supported cryptocurrencies. Before ordering, confirm that the product is Motilium, the strength is 10 mg, the dosage form is a film-coated oral tablet and the chosen quantity is correct. You should also review your full UK delivery address and postcode. Our support team is available 24/7 by phone, live chat and email, with pharmacist assistance available if you have a product, interaction, pack-size or delivery question before confirming the order.

Standard delivery typically takes 14 to 21 days and cannot provide immediate treatment for current symptoms. When a shorter transit time is important, our tracked Express option has an estimated delivery window of 4 to 7 days. Both windows are estimates rather than guaranteed arrival dates, so allow for possible transit variation. Urgent or severe symptoms should be addressed through an appropriate healthcare service rather than by waiting for an online order.

Storage, Checks on Arrival and Sensible Use

Store Motilium below 30°C in its original package to protect the tablets from light and moisture. Keep it out of the sight and reach of children, and avoid damp storage locations such as a bathroom cabinet. Do not transfer the tablets into an unlabelled container, since the original packaging provides the product name, strength, expiry information and storage guidance needed for safe identification.

On arrival, check that the outer package is intact and that the label identifies Motilium, domperidone, 10 mg film-coated tablets and the quantity ordered. Confirm that the expiry date has not passed and that the tablets or blister strips do not show visible damage. If the product identity, strength, quantity or condition does not match the order, contact our support team before using it.

Dry mouth is a commonly reported adverse effect. Headache, diarrhoea and effects associated with raised prolactin, such as breast discomfort, milk production or menstrual changes, can also occur. Serious heart rhythm reactions are uncommon but require urgent attention. Stop taking domperidone and seek prompt medical help for palpitations, fainting, a rapid or irregular heartbeat, breathing difficulty, facial swelling or another sign of a severe allergic reaction.

Suspected adverse effects can be reported through the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme. If nausea or vomiting continues beyond the expected short course, returns frequently or requires repeated medicine use, seek clinical advice about the cause rather than extending treatment or automatically ordering another pack. Unused or expired tablets should not be placed in household wastewater; ask a local pharmacy how to dispose of medicines safely.
