Stugil Tablet (Domperidone/Cinnarizine)

Stugil Tablet

Stugil Tablet is indicated for treating the symptoms caused by vestibular disorders. It is also prescribed in vertigo/motion sickness, nausea, dizziness, headache, vomiting, the sensation of fullness, when there is a delay in gastric emptying.

Stugil Tablet is a combination of Domperidone and Cinnarizine. The active ingredients fall under the class of dopamine antagonist and anti-histamine, respectively. The medicine tightens the muscles near the entrance of the stomach and relaxes the ones present at the exit.

The action of this medication helps to speed up the passing of the food that you intake – from your stomach to your intestine, reducing the feeling of nausea and sickness, also preventing vomiting.

This medicine also works by blocking or reducing the stimulation in the ‘vomiting centre’ of your brain, which will eventually reduce the feeling of nausea and vomiting. The possible side effects of taking this medication can be nausea, dryness in mouth, indigestion, sleepiness or weight gain.

You are advised not to take Stugil Tablet if you have the following conditions:

Work

This medication attaches to the dopaminergic receptors without causing any release of the chemical dopamine. It, in turn, facilitates gastric emptying and decreases small bowel transit time. Also, it prevents the relay of repetitive messages from the nerves in the inner ear to the vomiting centre in the brain. Thus altogether alleviates the symptoms.
