Hi. Domperidone acts on the distal end of stomach to increase stomach emptying. I would suggest that you add centrally acting anti-emetics that is drugs that act on the vomiting center in the brain to prevent nausea and vomiting.
I recommend that you add ondanseteron tablet 8 mg thrice daily 30 minutes before meals and tablet prochlorperazine 5 mg thrice daily.
Please discuss this with your doctor for prescription. If you have any further questions I will be happy to answer. Thankyou for choosing Healthcare Magic.
