[Domperidone as an anti-emetic in antineoplastic chemotherapy].

The antiemetic effects of domperidone in patients undergoing post-surgical cytostatic treatment for stomach and colorectal carcinoma have been evaluated. The study has been performed on 3 groups of patients treated with domperidone, metoclopramide and placebo respectively. The antiemetic activity of domperidone proved to be better than that of metoclopramide.
