Contrainidications:
Patients with a known allergy to Domperidone or Domperidone Maleate or any inactive ingredient of the product.

Warning & Precautions:
In case of children, treatment with Apuldon should be continued with caution because there may be increased risk of extra-pyramidal reactions in young children.

Side effects:
Apuldon may produce hyperprolactinemia which may cause galactorrhea & breast enlargement, soreness and reduced libido. It may rarely cause dry mouth, thirst, headache, nervousness, drowsiness, diarrhea, skin rash and itching.

Drug interaction:
Apuldon may reduce the hypoprolactinemic effect of bromocriptine. The effect of antimuscarinics & opioid analgesics may antagonize Apuldon on GI function.

Use in special groups:
Use in pregnancy: The safety of this drug has not been established for pregnant women. So it is not recommended during pregnancy.

Use in lactation: Apuldon may precipitate galactorrhea and improve postnatal lactation, which is secreted in breast milk but in very small quantities insufficient to be considered harmful.
