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. Domperidone works by blocking dopamine receptors in your body and helping food move through the digestive tract faster.

Domperidone is known to increase lactation in breastfeeding women, but it’s not approved for this use in any country.

You may be able to purchase domperidone from accredited online pharmacies if you have a valid prescription from your provider. Depending on the condition for which you seek treatment, the pharmacy may decline to dispense this product to you. Please check with the online pharmacy before ordering your medication.

Domperidone is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and therefore is not available for sale in the United States. However, 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.
