VOMILUX SUSP. (Domperidone Suspension 5 mg) is an oral medication formulated to provide effective relief from nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Each milliliter of VOMILUX Suspension contains 5 mg of Domperidone, a dopamine antagonist that enhances gastrointestinal motility and alleviates symptoms associated with delayed gastric emptying. VOMILUX SUSP. is commonly prescribed for conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastroparesis, and for patients undergoing chemotherapy or surgery who experience persistent nausea and vomiting. Its palatable formulation ensures easy administration, especially for children and individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Effective Antiemetic: Domperidone effectively reduces nausea and vomiting by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain’s chemoreceptor trigger zone, providing rapid symptom relief.

- Palatable Suspension: The liquid form of VOMILUX ensures easy and accurate dosing, making it suitable for children and adults alike.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for a wide range of conditions, including GERD, gastroparesis, and as an adjunct therapy for patients undergoing treatments that induce nausea.
- Convenient Packaging: Available in [specify sizes, e.g., 100 ml and 200 ml bottles], ensuring adequate supply for consistent and prolonged treatment as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
