MOTIN, a medication belonging to the gastrointestinal drug class. It primarily acts on peripheral dopamine receptors, inhibiting them, and enhances esophageal peristalsis, which helps push food toward the stomach. In addition, it increases gastric motility, facilitating gastric-emptying and intestinal transit.

MOTIN suspension is considered a suitable option for treating a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders in adults and adolescents over 12 years of age and weighing more than 35 kg and, in some specific cases, MOTIN suspension can be used in children under 12 years of age.

MOTIN is available in several pharmaceutical forms, including suppositories, F.C tablets, and oral suspension.

Each 1 mL of MOTIN suspension contains 1 mg Domperidone maleate.

MOTIN suspension is primarily indicated for the treatment of a wide range of gastrointestinal disorders, including:

A burning sensation in the stomach, pain in the upper abdomen, and delayed gastric emptying

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and esophagitis
