Morning vs evening dosing
Motilium (domperidone) is taken up to three times a day, as directed by the prescriber. For nausea and vomiting, it is recommended to take it about 15 to 30 minutes before meals. Linking the doses to a daily activity such as breakfast can help you remember them.
Taking with or without meals

What’s inside and how it works
Ingredients overview
Each Motilium tablet contains 10 mg of domperidone as its active ingredient. It is available as tablets and as an oral suspension.
Mechanism basics explained simply
Motilium works primarily as a prokinetic agent, which boosts gut motility and helps the stomach empty more swiftly. This can lead to a significant reduction in nausea and other gastrointestinal symptoms. The medication accomplishes this by blocking dopamine receptors, effectively preventing nausea signals from reaching the brain.
Main indications
Motilium, known generically as domperidone, is used particularly for nausea and vomiting. It is best to consult a healthcare professional about its use.
Approved uses (MHRA listing)
In the UK, Motilium is licensed for the relief of the symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Because of the risk of heart rhythm problems, the lowest effective dose is used for the shortest possible time, usually not longer than one week.
Off-label uses in UK clinics
Domperidone is occasionally used off-label to increase breast milk supply in breastfeeding mothers, but this is outside its licence and requires careful discussion and monitoring by healthcare professionals because of the risk of heart rhythm problems.
Additional information on Motilium
Motilium is a prescription medicine and should always be used with caution. Contraindications, such as known allergies, severe hepatic impairment or existing heart rhythm problems, must be evaluated before use.
Discuss potential interactions with other medicines, especially those affecting heart rhythm or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (for example ketoconazole or clarithromycin), as the risk of serious side effects can increase with certain combinations. Suspected side effects can be reported through the Yellow Card scheme.
