And we all learned with the "warning" that compounding pharmacies are not 
under the jurisdiction of the FDA.  So a physician can prescribe 
domperidone to be compounded if she sees a need.

I am now reading a book exposing the extent of the pharmaceutical 
companies'  control of the FDA (US) and regulatory agencies in other 
countries. It is an eye opener.  I keep thinking of the influence that the 
formula (pharmaceutical) companies had in the FDA warning against 
domperidone and the timing of the warning to coincide with the publicity 
about their influence on the AAP and the Breastfeeding Campaign.

It's all about profits.
