How can I save money on Domperidone?
Domperidone is approved in some countries, including Canada, to treat gastrointestinal conditions. It is approved in the United Kingdom for use in the relief of nausea and vomiting. It works by helping your stomach empty faster, decreasing nausea and improving symptoms of vomiting, bloating, and fullness. Domperidone is known to increase lactation in breastfeeding women, but it’s not approved for this use in any country.
Is Domperidone available in the U.S.?
Domperidone is not approved for sale in the U.S.
The FDA released a warning and import alert on June 7, 2004, stating that distributing any domperidone-containing products is illegal. The FDA has instructed field personnel to detain shipments of domperidone drug products and domperidone bulk ingredients because of serious health risks linked with the use of domperidone in lactating women who want to increase breast milk production. These serious health risks have been reported in case studies and include sudden death, cardiac arrest arrhythmias, and drug excretion in the breast milk.
Even though domperidone is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and therefore is not available for sale in the United States the FDA recognizes in some patients the benefits of the drug may outweigh the risks. For this reason, the FDA has created a program for people to obtain Domperidone internationally through an expanded access investigational new drug application. Physicians can apply to this program on behalf of their patients with severe gastrointestinal conditions.

Also, there is good news regarding the cost. In the U.S., regulations prohibit charging a patient for an investigational drug unless FDA gives authorization to do so (21 CFR 312.8).
Domperidone is available as an over-the-counter (OTC) medication in many countries, such as Mexico, New Zealand, Chile, Netherlands, Ireland, Italy, China, and South Africa.
