Some possible gynaecological indications for peripheral antidopamine therapy.
The effect of the dopamine receptor blocking domperidone (Motilium) has been examined in 73 gynaecological patients in a wide indication field. The treatment was successful in controlling dyspeptic symptoms of different origins, nausea-vomiting of different etiologies, climacteric flushes, and in the prevention of migraines in 67.1% of the cases. Partial response was obtained in 19.2%, and no response in 13.7% of the cases. According to the opinion of the authors the gastrokinetic and antiemetic effect of domperidone is of high value, the use of the drug may be attempted as a monotherapy or an adjuvant therapy for the prevention of migraine and the treatment of climacteric flushes.[1]References
