	Breastfeeding: Domperidone to increase milk production
		Domperidone (Motilium) is a drug that has, as a side effect, the increased production of the hormone prolactin.
		Domperidone is generally used for disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (gut) and has not been released for use as a stimulant for milk production.
		Domperidone has many fewer side effects because it does not enter the brain tissue in significant amounts (does not pass the blood-brain barrier).

	FDA Warns Against Women Using Unapproved Drug, Domperidone, to Increase Milk Production
		Domperidone may increase the secretion of prolactin, a hormone that is needed for lactation.
		Although domperidone is approved in several countries outside the U.S. to treat certain gastric disorders, it is not approved in any country, including the U.S., for enhancing breast milk production in lactating women and is also not approved in the U.S. for any indication.
		In several countries where the oral form of domperidone continues to be marketed, labels for the product contain specific warnings against use of domperidone by breastfeeding women and note that the drug is excreted in breast milk that could expose a breastfeeding infant to unknown risks.

		Domperidone is not in the same family of medication as cisapride and has never had the cardiac side effects that cisapride does.
		When domperidone was being used for babies (and now that cisapride is off the market, it is being used again), it was common for the babies to be on the medication for several months.
		Since the amount of domperidone that gets into the milk is very small indeed, from the baby's point of view, there should be no issue in the mother taking it to increase milk supply for several months.

	All About Domperidone
		Domperidone is generally used for disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (gut) and has not been released in Canada for use as a stimulant for milk production.
		It has frequently been noted that a mother who is pumping milk for a sick or premature baby in hospital has a decrease in the amount she pumps around 4 or 5 weeks after the baby is born.
		The reasons for this are likely many, but domperidone generally brings the amount of milk pumped back to where it was or even to higher levels.

	Domperidone (Motilium tm) & Breast feeding - How can this drug help breastfeeding mothers?

		Domperidone increases prolactin secretion indirectly, by interfering with the action of dopamine whose action is to decrease the secretion of prolactin by the pituitary gland.
		You can take the domperidone about every 6 hours, when it is convenient (there is no need to wake up to keep to a 6 hour schedule—it does not make any difference).

		Domperidone is a dopamine antagonist with antiemetic properties similar to those of metoclopramide and certain neuroleptic medicines.
		Studies in humans have shown intravenous and oral domperidone to increase the duration of antral and duodenal contractions, to increase the gastric emptying of liquids and semi-solids in healthy subjects and in patients in whom it was delayed, and to increase lower oesophageal sphincter pressure in healthy subjects.
		Since the typical absence of neurological side effects with domperidone is mainly due to its poor penetration through the blood-brain barrier, the possible occurrence of such effects cannot be totally excluded in babies under one year of age.
