Cinnarizine-Domperidone 20mg-15mg Uses
Cinnarizine-Domperidone 20mg-15mg is prescribed to:

How Cinnarizine-Domperidone 20mg-15mg Works
- Cinnarizine acts as a calcium channel blocker and antihistamine, reducing the activity within the inner ear’s vestibular system, which helps control nausea and dizziness.
- Domperidone works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain and the upper part of the digestive tract. This action promotes gastric motility and speeds up the passage of food through the stomach, preventing nausea and vomiting.
