Naushi 1mg/ml Drop belongs to a class of medications known as 'dopamine antagonist' used to treat nausea (feeling sick) and vomit (being sick) in adults and adolescents 12 years or older. Besides this, it also helps in the treatment of indigestion. Nausea and vomiting are not diseases but are symptoms of many conditions like infections, motion sickness, an early stage of pregnancy, and gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying).
Naushi 1mg/ml Drop contains domperidone, which prevents nausea and vomiting symptoms by blocking certain receptors (like dopamine and serotonin) that stimulate the vomiting centre (chemoreceptor trigger zone – CTZ) located in the brain. It also acts as a prokinetic agent that increases the upper gastrointestinal tract's motility and helps decrease stomach emptying time.
Take Naushi 1mg/ml Drop as prescribed by your doctor. Symptoms of nausea and vomiting may usually resolve within 3-4 days after taking Naushi 1mg/ml Drop. However, if it does not resolve even after this, stop taking this medicine and contact the doctor. Do not take Naushi 1mg/ml Drop for longer than seven days.
