Hi Ya'll

Need some help regarding Domperidone here in the USA
I have been researching its use in the archives and on the internet.
Here in the USA I have talked to 2-3 pharmacists
(one in hospital and 2 local pharmacy chains).

I have not had a positive feedback.  Most say that if it is not approved
by the FDA and listed as a drug accepted here that it can not be
dispensed.  That it is/maybe a crime if purchased from Canada.
As seen in the news lately reguarding seniors and crossing the
boarder for less costly medication.

I have been unable to fine a Compounding pharmacy - or the
reciept for compounding.  It is not in listed in Hale's.  Hale
does not list the components and  it only lists
UK / Canada / Austrailia as countries it is licenced in.

How do you other LCs, LLL, Doctors ect. handle this situation?
I think it would really be a benifit to our NICU mom's if there is
some legal way to provide it since it seems to have fewer side effects
than Reglan.  I hope to present it to our Neonatologist once I have
more inforamation and answers to the legal issues.

Any information is appriciated.

Thank you
