Motilium, or Domperidome as it is called in Australia is used very effectively to treat the nausea which is connected with any of the anti-Parkinson's medications, and especially with apomorphine. It is very effective when people are starting a new drug which makes them nauseous. It can be tapered off over a period of months as the system adjusts to the new drug. It is the only one of the anti-nausea drugs which are safe because it is said not to increase the PD symptoms. I have not heard of any side effects. Unfortunately a lot of people don't know about it and therefore don't know about asking for it, and then a lot of doctors and neurologists FORGET to tell their patients about it....Grrrr. I am sure the Canadians will tell you how to purchase it.
