| Description: |
Domperidone is a dopamine blocker and an antidopaminergic reagent.Domperidone is a useful alternative to metoclopramide for treatment of gastroparesis due to better tolerability. Effectiveness and side-effects from domperidone may be influenced by patient-related factors including polymorphisms in genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes, drug transporters, and domperidone targets. Domperidone is a dopamine D(2) receptor antagonist, which has been used as antiemetic agent in human beings. The percentage recovery of domperidone from wastewater was 95.0%. Celiprolol was used as the internal standard to access the percentage extraction of domperidone from wastewater. Domperidone, a dopamine antagonist that does not easily cross the blood-brain barrier, is considered the gold standard for treating gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) because the risk of developing extrapyramidal adverse effects is considered minimal. |
