What is Domflash?

Domflash contains Domperidone which belongs to a group of medicines called ‘dopamine antagonists’. Domflash works by helping to move food faster through your food pipe (oesophagus), stomach and gut. This is so that it does not stay in the same place for too long. It also helps stop food flowing the wrong way back up your food pipe.

Domflash can be used for the following:

Adults

To stop or prevent you feeling sick (nausea) or being sick (vomiting)
To stop or prevent the feeling of fullness during or shortly after a meal
To treat stomach discomfort, or heartburn caused by the flow of the stomach contents back into your food pipe

Children

To stop or prevent children feeling sick (nausea) or being sick (vomiting)
