Brief Answer:
Probably you should not be worried,in case of stomach cramps you should consult your doctor.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Domperidone is a medication commonly used to treat nausea.

It increases the movements or contractions of the stomach and intestine.

So, you may have stomach cramps while using this medication.

In this case you should stop the medication and re consult your doctor about this side effect.

It does not have any known side effect related to anemia, so you should not be worried.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Brief Answer:
Domperidone will help with nausea and bloating.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again dear,

Domperidone will help with nausea from Madopar.

It is a medication commonly used to treat nausea.

It also helps with the bloating because it moves food along the digestive tract.

I also suggest to eat a healthy diet and drink a lot of water.

Wishing you good health.

Take care,

Dr.Dorina Guraabrdhi
