Domperidone Maleate is a selective dopamine D2 receptor antagonist used in treating gastrointestinal motility disorders and nausea. Unlike centrally acting agents, it does not significantly cross the blood–brain barrier, making it preferred in patients sensitive to extrapyramidal side effects. It’s formulated as an API in solid oral dosage forms and suspensions. Stable Salt Form: Maleate version is preferred for improved solubility and oral bioavailability.
