Please take at the following article http://www.breastfeeding.org/articles/domperidone.html for more information on this subject.   Are you stating that the information in this article is incorrect?  Please show evidence of a successful prosecution of a compounding pharmacist for this.  I think FDA uses scare tactics.  It is absolutely ridiculous to me that a product such as VIAGRA with known health risks is allowed to be on the market because it helps with the production of a bodily fluid from a male that on occasion results in births of babies that we are trying to help, but tries to prevent another pharamaceutical that has been shown to help with production of a bodily fluid from a female that sustains the life of babies produced (at times) by the use of the other!  Maybe that's because the largest profit margin for pharmaceutical companies is the formula industry?

No. Domperidone is not approved for any use in the U.S.  Manufacture (including by a compounding pharmacist) is illegal. Importation via an Internet pharmacy (from Canada, for example) is also illegal.

Hope that helps. :) There is a great deal of inaccurate information floating around there about the legality of obtaining domperidone in the U.S.

Yours,
Jake Marcus, J.D.
