Indications: Ridon (Domperidone) is indicated for the relief of nausea and vomiting. It is also used for the management of upper gastrointestinal motility disorders such as:

• Dyspeptic symptom complex (e.g., fullness, bloating, upper abdominal discomfort, early satiety)
• Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) and esophagitis
• Acute nausea and vomiting of functional, organic, infectious, dietary, or drug-induced origin
• Nausea and vomiting associated with migraine
• Nausea and vomiting induced by dopamine-agonist anti-Parkinson drugs

Dosage and Administration: Ridon Suspension should be administered orally. The dosage depends on the age and weight of the patient. It is generally recommended to administer Ridon 15 to 30 minutes before meals.

• Adults and adolescents (12 years and older, weighing 35 kg or more): The usual dose is 10 ml (10 mg) up to three times daily, with a maximum daily dose of 30 ml (30 mg).
• Children (under 12 years and weighing less than 35 kg): The usual dose is 0.25 mg/kg body weight, administered up to three times daily, with a maximum daily dose of 0.75 mg/kg body weight, not exceeding 30 mg daily.

Side Effects: Common side effects of Ridon (Domperidone) may include dry mouth, headache, and gastrointestinal disturbances such as abdominal pain or diarrhea. Less common side effects may include dizziness, nervousness, breast tenderness or enlargement, and galactorrhea (milk production).

Precautions: Ridon (Domperidone) is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to domperidone or any of the excipients, pituitary tumor (prolactinoma), gastrointestinal hemorrhage, mechanical obstruction or perforation, and in patients with known existing prolongation of cardiac conduction intervals or underlying cardiac diseases.
