Prilosec inhibits secretion of acid in the stomach, and Domperidone
increases peristalsis (muscle contractions) of the intestines. So, no, they
do not do similar things.
Here in the US, as far as the FDA is concerned, the only possible indication
for Domperidone is diabetic gastroparesis(bowels do not move well due to
nerve damage), and then only if you get a special investigational permit
from them to prescribe it.
