I just took the CLC course with Karin Cadwell & Cindy Maffei. They were VERY
adamant that nobody should be suggesting domperidone or prescribing it in
the US (I'm sure this is a controversial topic, but I am just passing on what
they taught). The FDA is apparently cracking down pretty hard on it, and
considers it a potentially dangerous drug (and in my medical opinion, it
shouldn't be suggested to anyone lightly). Compounding pharmacies have
received serious warnings against distributing it. As an RN presumably without
prescribing privileges, you would be outside your scope of practice. Even if
you verbally suggest or recommend a medication or even an herbal (e.g.
fenugreek) without writing a physical prescription, a court or licensing board
could find that you were "prescribing" via that recommendation. Tread
cautiously!
