Domperidone vs Metoclopramide
 | Domperidone |  | Metoclopramide |  |
| Consult your pharmacist. | Metoclopramide is used to treat certain conditions of the stomach and intestines. Metoclopramide is used as a short-term treatment (4 to 12 weeks) for persistent heartburn when the usual medicines do not work well enough. It is used mostly for heartburn that occurs after a meal or during the daytime. Treating persistent heartburn can decrease the damage done by stomach acid to the swallowing tube (esophagus) and help healing. | |||

| Add Domperidone review I have Gastroparethis and terrible stomach cramps whether I eat or don't eat. I am searching for a medication that will make the cramps go away. I take this medication for severe gastroparesis, and it has been wonderful for me. I was on TPN via PICC line and unable to handle even smoothies before I started this drug. Tonight I ate a cheeseburger! My only issue with it is that my body builds a tolerance to it quickly, and my doctors have been reluctant to raise my dosage.
