Domperidone is used short-term in breastfeeding mothers of children being treated with the aim of improving breast milk supply.
While using this medicine – Remember
• Domperidone is not recommended for use in mothers with cardiac arrhythmias or mothers taking any medication which may cause cardiac arrhythmias.
• Domperidone in very small amounts enters the breast milk but there have been no known cases of harmful cardiac effects on babies.
• If you are taking any other medication, including over the counter or complementary medicines (also known as traditional or alternative medicines including vitamins, minerals, herbs, aromatherapy and homeopathic products) from a health food store, discuss this with your doctor prior to commencing domperidone
When and how should I take domperidone?
• Domperidone is used together with frequent expressing. It will work best for you if you are expressing regularly with an electric breast pump – this is at least eight times per day with no breaks longer than five hours.
• Domperidone is normally taken by the breastfeeding mother every eight hours (three times per day). A suggested regime would be at 6am, 2pm and 10pm. Check with the lactation consultant or pharmacist on the best way to fit this medicine into your and your baby’s routine.
How much should I take?
• The usual starting dose is 10 mg (one tablet) every eight hours (three times per day e.g. 6 am, 2 pm and 10 pm). The starting dose at the hospital should never exceed 30mg (3 tablets) in each 24 hours.
• Once your milk supply is well established, keep taking the dose of one tablet (10mg) every eight hours (three times per day) for one more week; then it may be possible to gradually reduce the medicine slowly over a few days and then stop. It is advisable to contact the lactation consultant before you plan to stop this medication, to review your milk supply, and then talking to the doctor who prescribed it to give you a weaning plan.
• The dose may change, depending on each woman’s individual response. Rarely, doses of up to 60mg (6 tablets) are used in each 24 hours, prescribed by the GP.
