Domperidone + Paracetamol

Domperidone+Paracetamol is a combination medicine used to treat migraine headaches and associated symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and fever. Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that reduces nausea and vomiting by acting on brain centers as well as by increasing gastrointestinal mobility of food and waste. In the brain, it inhibits the chemical process that causes nausea and vomiting. While in gastrointestinal tract symptoms, it improves food movement through the stomach and intestine and stops nausea and vomiting. Paracetamol acts through its antipyretic and mild analgesic properties, which help inhibit brain signals that induce pain, regulate body temperature, and reduce fever. Together, this combination provides dual action—reducing pain/fever while preventing nausea and vomiting, making it especially useful in conditions like migraine, flu, viral infections, post-surgical recovery, and gastritis-related headaches.
