FAQs
Sikodom Tablet
What is Sikodom 500 Tablet?
Sikodom 500 Tablet is a combination of two medicines: Naproxen and Domperidone. This combination helps in relieving the symptoms of migraine like headache, nausea and vomiting. Naproxen is a pain-killer that blocks the release of certain chemical messengers that cause headache. Domperidone is an anti-emetic agent (prokinetic). It increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more easily through the stomach. This helps in relieving vomiting.
Can I stop taking Sikodom 500 Tablet when my migraine symptoms are relieved?
No, do not stop taking Sikodom 500 Tablet until advised by your doctor.
Can the use of Sikodom 500 Tablet cause diarrhea?
