Pat,

Thank you for posting that!

While it doesn't support the use of domperidone for increasing milk supply, it certainly does point out the safety of oral use of the drug as opposed to the IV use which the FDA is using as their reason for the ban.  Realistically domperidone has not sought approval for increasing lactation, and the research is very limited.  \
