Taking Domperidone With Other Medicines And Herbal Supplements

Cautions with other medicines

Some medicines and domperidone can affect each other. This may increase your chance of having side effects.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking:

antidepressants or antipsychotic medicines
antibiotics or medicines for fungal infections
medicines for malaria
medicines for HIV infection
medicines for a heart condition or high blood pressure
medicines for cancer, or if you're having treatment for cancer

Taking domperidone with other anti-sickness medicines

It's usually best to only take 1 type of medicine for feeling or being sick.

If domperidone does not work for you, speak to a doctor. They may want to recommend a different medicine.

Mixing domperidone with herbal remedies and supplements

Some herbal remedies can make your side effects worse.

There's not enough information to say that other complementary medicines and herbal remedies are safe to take with domperidone. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, including herbal remedies, vitamins or supplements.
