Question: Can an LC or other person provide a mom with domperidone legally?
Marie, I agree with your statement:
Prescription drugs are given by prescription for a *reason.* As a nurse,
registered in NY, VA, and DC, I would fear that in giving *any*
prescription drug to an adult, far less a lactating mother, I'd be risking
my license to practice. My instructors at school always drilled it into us
that an action like this constitutes practicing medicine without a license.
However it's my impression that domperidone is not a prescription drug in
the US because it is unavailable. I don't have any idea what this might
do legally. Does a drug that was formerly a prescription stay that way?
Any lawyers listening?
