PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Doprokin-S is an antiemetic medicinal product and a stimulant of gastrointestinal motility.
Domperidone is a selective antagonist of peripheral dopamine receptors with antiemetic properties. Its antiemetic effect is due to a combination of peripheral (gastrokinetic) activity and antagonism of dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone. It does not affect gastric secretion and poorly penetrates the blood-brain barrier. After oral administration, it does not accumulate and does not induce its own metabolism. Plasma protein binding is 91–93%. It is metabolized in the liver by hydroxylation and N-dealkylation. It is excreted unchanged in the feces (10%) and urine (1%). The elimination half-life (T1/2) is 7–9 hours.
Simethicone possesses surface-active properties and reduces gas content in the intestine. It lowers the surface tension of gas bubbles in the gastrointestinal tract, causing their rupture; the released gases are absorbed by the intestinal wall or eliminated through peristalsis. It is chemically inert, distributed within the intestinal lumen, not metabolized in the body, and excreted unchanged in the feces.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Hypersensitivity to the components of the medicinal product; gastrointestinal bleeding; mechanical obstruction or perforation of the gastrointestinal tract; prolactin-secreting pituitary tumor.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Adverse reactions are observed rarely; in isolated cases, transient intestinal spasms may occur.
DRUG INTERACTIONS
Anticholinergic agents may neutralize the antidyspeptic effect of Doprokin-S. Antacids and antisecretory agents should not be administered concomitantly with Doprokin-S.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Doprokin-S should be administered with caution in patients with hepatic insufficiency due to the extensive hepatic metabolism of domperidone. In patients with renal insufficiency, prolongation of the dosing interval is recommended.
The medicinal product is not recommended for use in children under 1 year of age.
Doprokin-S does not affect the ability to drive vehicles or operate machinery.
Use during pregnancy and lactation:
Use during pregnancy and lactation is possible only if the expected therapeutic benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus and child.
