About Cetdom 10mg/325mg Tablet

DOMPERIDONE+PARACETAMOL is a combination medicine used for the symptomatic treatment of migraine, and any medical condition with concomitant nausea/vomiting and fever/pain. Migraine is a neurological condition that can cause severe throbbing pain or a pulsing sensation, usually on one side of the head, eyes, face, and neck. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, difficulty speaking, numbness or tingling, and sensitivity to light and sound.

DOMPERIDONE+PARACETAMOL is a combination of two drugs, namely: Domperidone and Paracetamol. Domperidone prevents nausea and vomiting symptoms by blocking certain receptors (like dopamine and serotonin) that stimulate the vomiting center (chemoreceptor trigger zone –CTZ) located in the brain. It also acts as a prokinetic agent that increases the upper gastrointestinal tract's motility and helps in decreasing the stomach emptying time. Paracetamol is an NSAID that works by blocking the effect of a chemical messenger in your body, known as cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes that make another chemical ‘prostaglandins’(PG). These prostaglandins are produced at injury sites and cause pain and swelling. By blocking the effect of COX enzymes, lesser PGs are produced, which reduces mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.

DOMPERIDONE+PARACETAMOL is available in both oral tablet and suspension dosage forms. It is advised to take DOMPERIDONE+PARACETAMOL 25-30 minutes before a meal. Your doctor will recommend how often you take DOMPERIDONE+PARACETAMOL based on your medical condition.  Some people may experience some side effects, dry mouth, skin rash, anxiety, diarrhea, and drowsiness. Most of these side effects of DOMPERIDONE+PARACETAMOL do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

You can increase the efficacy of DOMPERIDONE+PARACETAMOL by taking a small meal or snacks frequently. Do not take DOMPERIDONE+PARACETAMOL if you are allergic to DOMPERIDONE+PARACETAMOL and other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before taking DOMPERIDONE+PARACETAMOL. Inform your doctor if you have heart, kidney, and liver disease. Prolonged intake of DOMPERIDONE+PARACETAMOL may be associated with an increased risk of heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia) and cardiac arrest (heart attack). This risk may be more likely in the elderly (those over 60 years old) or taking a higher dose. If you experience heart rhythm disorders like palpitations, trouble breathing, or loss of consciousness after taking DOMPERIDONE+PARACETAMOL, immediately contact your doctor.
