FAQ

What happens if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose of domperidone, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, wait until that is due and then continue as normal. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose.

What happens if I overdose?

If you take too much domperidone, seek medical attention straight away. In the event of an overdose, symptomatic treatment can be implemented. An ECG monitoring may be undertaken, because of the possibility of a heart problem called prolonged QT interval.
