Prescription
Domperidone
Used for nausea, gastroparesis, and lactation support
Domperidone (Motilium) helps stomach emptying and reduces nausea. It is also prescribed off-label to support breast-milk supply. Health Canada recommends ECG monitoring at higher doses because of a heart rhythm consideration.
How the pharmacy helps
For lactation use, see /services/lactation-support — we supply Domperidone for breastfeeding patients in coordination with the prescriber.
