An assessment of rationality for prescribing practices of FDC of domperidone and proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) was done based on the available guidelines and evidence from the literature.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, 8839 outpatient prescriptions were analyzed in which FDCs with domperidone and PPI were prescribed in 481 (5.44%) cases. The FDC containing domperidone + PPI was prescribed for nausea and vomiting in 10.81% of cases. The dose was not mentioned in 55% of prescriptions; the dose of domperidone up to 30 mg\/day was mentioned in 42.41% of prescriptions and more than 30 mg\/day in 2.28% of prescriptions. In 89.18% of cases, it was prescribed to patients under 60 years of age.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study has shown a lack of rationality in the prescribing practices in FDC containing domperidone and PPI in terms of indications, dose, frequency, duration, and administration instructions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijp.ijp_744_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,9]],"date-time":"2025-07-09T15:01:10Z","timestamp":1752073270000},"page":"159-165","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Prescribing trends of fixed-dose combination of domperidone and proton-pump inhibitor across tertiary care centers in India, is the combination rational?"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Ajay Kumar","family":"Shukla","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhopal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sameer Uttamrao","family":"Khasbage","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ratinder","family":"Jhaj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhopal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Balakrishnan","family":"Sadasivam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhopal, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jerin Jose","family":"Cherian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Research, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, V.
