About Vomsel Suspension

Vomsel Suspension is used to treat nausea (feeling sick) and vomiting (being sick) in adults and adolescents 12 years or older. Besides this, it also helps treat indigestion.

Vomsel Suspension contains domperidone, which prevents nausea and vomiting by blocking certain receptors (such as dopamine and serotonin) that stimulate the vomiting centre (chemoreceptor trigger zone – CTZ) in the brain. It also acts as a prokinetic agent, increasing the motility of the upper gastrointestinal tract and helping decrease stomach emptying time.

Take Vomsel Suspension as prescribed by your doctor. Symptoms of nausea and vomiting may usually resolve within 3-4 days after taking Vomsel Suspension. However, if it does not resolve even after this, stop taking this medicine and contact the doctor. Do not take Vomsel Suspension for longer than seven days. The most common side effect of Vomsel Suspension is dry mouth. This side effect is temporary and may resolve over time; however, if it persists, contact the doctor.

Do not consume Vomsel Suspension if you are hypersensitive to any components present in Vomsel Suspension. Before taking the Vomsel Suspension, inform your doctor if you suffer from liver or kidney problems. Prolonged intake of Vomsel Suspension may be associated with an increased risk of heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia) and cardiac arrest (heart attack). This risk may be higher in the elderly (those over 60 years old) or in those taking doses higher than 30 mg daily.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Eat a healthy low-fat diet, especially in small portions, as it will be easy to digest. Avoid eating overly sweet food and include more salty food, especially if you have been vomiting.
  • Also, if you like vomiting at a specific time, avoid eating your favourite food at that particular time, as your taste for that food may get turned off.
  • Include more cool beverages with your food, such as clear soups, flavoured gelatin, and carbonated beverages. Also, when drinking with a straw, sip slowly to avoid swallowing air, which can lead to gas or acidity.
  • Drink after, or any other liquid, at least 30 minutes after eating. After eating food, lie down for at least after 2 hours.
  • If the smell of food makes you feel sick (vomit), do not cook food, as it may worsen your condition. Let someone else cook food or use prepared food from the freezer.
  • Avoid caffeine-containing beverages (coffee, tea), spicy/deep-fried/processed foods, carbonated drinks, and acidic foods like citrus fruits/vegetables (tomatoes).
