Domperidone

[Guest guest]

Dear Patty,

I was on Domperidone for a couple years. I was taking it as

part of the trial study for it. I had gastroparesis and they were

trying to get my stomach to wake up. I was already on propulsid when

I started it and it did speed things up more. It did help with the

nausea, somewhat. The study was halted due to heart side affects,

heart arythmias. They also pulled propulsid from the market for the

same reason. I was told that domperidone was being developed because

propulsid had so many side effects. Guess they found domperidone did

the same thing. My Mds adjusted my heart meds so I could take the

propulsid and domperidone as they enabled me to eat. Once propulsid

was pulled from the market and the Domperidone trial was halted, I

continued to get them from a pharmacy who made them. After I had my

surgery to open the outlet to my pancreatic duct, my stomach woke

back up and I didn't need them again. But if I ever need them again,

I would take them. Talk to you soon.

Love,
