Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Both the domstal and aristozyme are safe. Domstal contains domperidone, and aristozyme is an appetite stimulant. I don't think aristozyme is needed. Vomiting in early infancy is mainly due to gastroesophageal reflux due to immaturity of the sphincters.

Giving domstal helps as it increases the forward movement of intestine and thus prevents reflux. Domstal drops contains 1 mg/ml. Dose of domstal is 0.2 to 0 3 mg/kg/dose. Considering your baby's weight around 4 kgs the dose will be 1 ml/dose three times a day before feed.

Giving acid reducing agent also helps in GER. Lansoprazole is one acid reducing agent. The dose is 0.5mg/kg/day single daily dose. Keep the baby upright after feed and burp well to release the gas.

I hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pradeep Kumar
