I believe Merilee asked about domperidone. If I remember correctly Merilee
is in Switzerland? Is that right Merilee? I'm not sure what is law in your
area and if you are a healthcare provider like a nurse besides a bf
professional.
Anyway, you can check the archives for pros/cons posted about doing this
(?prescribing). In my setting, as a hosp-based LC and an RN, I tend to agree
with Marie's position. What I do if I think a mom might benefit from
domperidone is to share some info on the drug (along with all her other
options) and then refer her to her physician for them to discuss further.
Had a physician prescribe it for a lady who did get it from Canada but it
didn't help that mom. I realize the mom could get it from Mexico w/o
prescription but I am not comfortable with that so I don't even mention it.
