Domperidone

Posted , 3 users are following.

Does anybody have any experience with domperidone which I was prescribed a few months ago.  This after several trips to Emerg with food stuck and after unsuccessful balloon dilation.  The drug is working although still careful about what I eat.  Side effects just general stomach discomfort and bloat/gas.  Thanks.  The drug has been discontinued in the U.S. apparently.

    You might try the Oesophageal Patients Community in the HealthUnlocked forum as some patients who have had their oesophagus removed do take it to help with nausea problems.

    ​I understand that you do need to take it a set period before actually eating food for it to work properly, so the instruction leaflet would be worth a careful read.
