Hi lactnetters,
Ann Marie generously shared what strategies worked for her to increase her
milk supply from 8 to 32 oz while EP'ing for her child.
One of those strategies was domperidone use.
Our doctors prescribe reglan (metoclopramide) only. I have the feeling that
none of them would be willing to prescribe domperidone, due to
the still controversial aspects of the prescribing and use of this drug in
lactation in the USA. I know there was a doctor on lactnet who was
sanctioned in some
way and reported to us the trouble she experienced. Before I would consider
bringing this up as an alternative to reglan, I wanted to get any updates
from lactnetters on domperidone prescribing and use.
