Ultibas Tablet 10 is primarily used to manage nausea and vomiting. It belongs to the anti-emetics category.

This tablet is also used to manage gastroparesis, a condition where the movement of food through the stomach is slow, and chronic dyspepsia or indigestion. The formulation proves particularly effective in managing these gastrointestinal issues.

This medicine must be taken as directed by your doctor. Before you start taking this medicine, let your doctor know about any health conditions you have or any other medicines you're currently taking. If you experience any side effects while on this medication, report them to your doctor promptly. For optimal results, ensure you continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Ultibas Tablet 10 is used for the following health conditions:

Managing nausea and vomiting
Controlling symptoms of motion sickness
Improving food movement in gastroparesis, where the stomach does not empty properly
Alleviating chronic dyspepsia, a type of long-lasting indigestion

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not crush or chew the tablet.
Taking this medicine on an empty stomach, ideally, 15-30 minutes before meals, is preferable.

Dry mouth
Drowsiness

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Ultibas Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Drowsiness: Consider taking this medicine at night if it causes you to feel sleepy during the day.
Diarrhoea: Take Ultibas Tablet 10 with food or milk to lessen this effect.

Ultibas Tablet 10 contains domperidone (10 mg), which works in the following ways:

Dopamine Blockade: Domperidone functions by blocking dopamine receptors in your brain. Dopamine is a chemical messenger that can trigger feelings of nausea and initiate the vomiting reflex. By inhibiting these receptors, domperidone reduces feelings of nausea and prevents vomiting.
Gastrointestinal Motility Enhancement: Domperidone also promotes the contraction of muscles in the stomach and intestines. These contractions assist in moving food through your gastrointestinal tract more smoothly and efficiently.

Caution is advised while taking Ultibas Tablet 10 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
