Cetadom Tablet

This medication a part of the dopamine antagonists and NSAID group of drugs used to treat migraine. This medicine prevents the signal of pain to reach the brain, thus reduces pain. Migraine pain causes nausea and vomiting stimulating the receptors in the brain responsible for it.

Its action helps to speed up the passing of the food that you intake - from your stomach to your intestine, reducing the feeling of nausea and sickness, also preventing vomiting. It can also block, or reduce stimulation in the ‘vomiting centre’ of your brain, which will eventually reduce the feeling of nausea and vomiting.
