Domperidone Availability

[Lenna]

Domperidone has been a miracle drug for my son's nausea for the past few years. He was getting it from a compounding pharmacy in Massachusetts until last month. At that time he was told that Massachusetts isn't being allowed to compound domperidone anymore. They referred him to a pharmacy in Maine that filled the prescription and sent it to us. When he tried to get another refill today, the Maine pharmacy said they are no longer allowed to compound domperidone for non-Maine residents, and they are not sure how much longer they'll be allowed to compound it at all.

I have a call in to my son's doctor and am waiting to hear back. Trying not to panic...

Is anyone else having trouble getting domperidone? Can you IM me with the name of your pharmacy if you're getting it somewhere?

All the friends I've known who used it were getting it shipped from Canada. As long as you have an Rx you can fax or scan to them, you can have it shipped to you.

Many of us with scleroderma take it for esophagus dismotility. We can still get it in Canada and many US people get it shipped to them from Canada

I was told by the Canadian pharmacies that I called that Canadian Federal law requires a prescription from a licensed Canadian doctor. Have your friends gotten it from Canada recently?

Can you IM me with the name of a pharmacy in Canada that will send it to my son in the U.S.?

In the UK you can get it over-the counter at Chemists and it's called Motilium.

Oh yes, I know about the over-the-counter version. I thought you meant it could be compounded in Canada. For some reason, a compounded version worked better in the past for my son than Motiliu.

Anyway, thanks!

I used to be able to order it from Canada but the last time I tried it said they couldn't ship it over the border and I had a rx. I don't understand why it's not FDA approved when it helps so many with minimal side effects....unlike Reglan.

I am able to get it compounded at two local pharmacies in Little Rock. I will message you the names of the pharmacies.

I just ordered some from an online pharmacy in Vanuatu, Jannsen brand, and expiration date in 2016. It seemed very legit, very good reviews online, and no prescription needed. I won't post the link, you should be able to find it. It was pretty cheap, they also had two other generic options. I remember being prescribed this stuff in New Zealand and it was the only stuff that worked for my nausea, nothing I've had since I moved to America worked. In NZ you need a Rx for it. Very happy this thread reminded me of the medication, ill be expecting it to be delivered in about a week.
