Study Notes
Domperidone
- Primarily used to stimulate milk production in lactating women
- Mechanism of action: increases prolactin levels by blocking dopamine receptors in the pituitary gland
- Recommended duration for maximal effect on milk production: 3-4 weeks
- Significant concern: potential cardiac arrhythmias and QT prolongation in infants
- Metabolism concern: oral bioavailability is low (approximately 15-20%) due to extensive first-pass metabolism
- Adverse effect: cardiac arrhythmias and QT prolongation in infants
Ergonovine Maleate
- Primary purpose: to reduce uterine bleeding and cramping after childbirth
- Side effects: hypertension, nausea, vomiting, and allergic reactions
- Concern: can cause hypertension in pregnant women
Misoprostol
- Primary purpose: to prevent gastric ulcers and promote wound healing
- Adverse effect: diarrhea, abdominal pain, and miscarriage
- Advantage: inexpensive and effective in preventing gastric ulcers
