Role of domperidone in improving intestinal activity in acute myocardial infarction patients.
Domperidone has been used as a gastrokinetic and anti-emetic drug within the frames of an intensive care programme in 57 patients with a history of 3-4 days of acute myocardial infarction. According to the observations, Motilium prevents the development of gastroduodenal complaints and nausea, vomiting in a period following the first days of acute therapy and promotes the start of bowel movement and defecation. It has no cardiac or other toxic effects and does not influence the action of other drugs.
