About this item
Mederax works by blocking dopamine receptors in the "chemoreceptor trigger zone" of the brain—the area responsible for signaling the body to feel nauseous or vomit. Simultaneously, it acts directly on the digestive tract to increase the tone and amplitude of gastric contractions, helping food move through the stomach more efficiently.
Dosage and Administration
- Adults: The standard dose is one (1) tablet (10mg) taken up to three times daily.
- Maximum Dose: Do not exceed 30mg (3 tablets) in a 24-hour period.
- Duration: To minimize the risk of neurological side effects, it is usually prescribed for short-term use (up to 5 days).
Proper Usage Tips
- Timing: For best results, take Mederax approximately 30 minutes before meals and at bedtime.
- Consistency: Leave an interval of at least 6 hours between doses, even if you vomit the medication back up, to avoid overdose.
- Swallow Whole: Take the tablet with a full glass of water.
How to Store and Dispose of Mederax
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Protect the tablets from light.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Return any expired or unused medication to your pharmacist.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications and Restrictions
- Gastrointestinal Issues: DO NOT USE if you have a bowel obstruction, perforation, or active stomach bleeding.
- Epilepsy: Should not be used by patients with epilepsy, as it may increase the frequency of seizures.
- Parkinson’s Disease: May worsen the symptoms of Parkinson’s due to its effect on dopamine.
- Age: Use with extreme caution in children and young adults (under 20) due to a higher risk of muscle spasms.
Side Effects of Mederax
- Common: Drowsiness, restlessness, or physical weakness.
- Serious (Rare): Uncontrolled muscle movements (extrapyramidal effects), such as twitching of the face, tongue, or limbs.
- Action: If you experience any unusual muscle movements or a very high fever with stiff muscles, stop taking the medicine immediately and contact a doctor.
Precautions and Warnings
- Alcohol: Avoid alcohol while taking Mederax, as it can significantly increase the sedative effects (drowsiness).
- Driving: This medication may cause dizziness or sleepiness. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how it affects you.
- Mental Health: Use with caution if you have a history of depression.
- Strength: 10mg per tablet.
- Form: Oral Tablet.
- Classification: Prescription-Only Medicine (POM).
