Motilium

Choosing between Motilium options

Both Motilium products contain the same active ingredient, domperidone — the difference is the format. Fastmelts dissolve on the tongue without water, which suits nausea when swallowing a tablet is unappealing or you're on the go; the standard 10mg tablets are swallowed with water. Domperidone is different from travel-sickness tablets (like Kwells or Stugeron) and from heartburn/reflux treatments, so the right choice depends on the cause of your symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fastmelts or standard tablets — which should I choose?

They contain the same medicine. Fastmelts melt on the tongue without water (handy for on-the-spot nausea), while the tablets are swallowed with water. Choose by convenience and preference.

How is Motilium different from travel sickness tablets?

Motilium (domperidone) is for general nausea and vomiting, while travel sickness tablets (cinnarizine or hyoscine) are aimed specifically at motion sickness. For reflux-related symptoms, an antacid may be more appropriate.

Do I need to answer any questions to buy Motilium?

As with all pharmacy medicines bought online, you'll answer a few short consultation questions so our pharmacist can check it's suitable before it's supplied. Domperidone isn't right for everyone, so use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time.
