Domperidone is a peripherally selective dopamine D2 receptor antagonist used as a prokinetic and antiemetic agent. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of nausea and vomiting, gastroparesis, and symptoms associated with chronic dyspepsia. Domperidone is not approved in the United States, but is available in several other countries, often with restrictions due to concerns about cardiac side effects.
