3 CarissaHastonPAUSI am a 24 yo who has suffered from gastroparesis for over eight years. I was on domperidone for several years and had no problems even though I am extremely sensitive to meds. I don't understand why this very safe drug is available in almost every other country except the US. It is expensive and insurance companies won't pay for it since it is not approved. Please consider allowing domperidone onto the market for everyone who desperately needs this drug to control severe nausea and vomiting.

5 FrankRushingTNUSDear Sir: Several GP patients are obtaining domperidone from NZ where no prescription is required. The drug has helped by digestive system work better and has helped control nausea. I think we are one of the few countries where domperidone is not legal and some without a prescription.
6 CarolynkellarCOUSWe need this drug approved for GP suffers and the FDA needs to approve it. Thanks

15 JulianneZajicKSUSWithout this drug, i would probably be knocking at deathh`s door. I can`t see how the US govt. can be so resistant to the approval of Motillium/Domperidone. There appear to be NO bad effects....... only GOOD benefits. Without taking Domperidone, I would be on total disability instead of able to go to work very regularly!

17 CorneliaHuebscherAKUSI suffer from Gastroparesis, and I am on disability. Domperidone is very hard to obtain from my location, I have used it in the past and benfited from it, but could no longer afford to buy, since this medication is not covered by my insurance.
18 JudyEnglandNEUSThere is currently only two drugs available in the US for gastroparesis. I do not respond to either drug so I am without any options other than receiving my nurishment trough a tube inserted into the small intestine. If I could use this drug, and it works for me, I would be able to eat food again. People don't realize how much they would miss something until it's taken away from them.

26 MagdalenaLaneMIUSMy gastroparesis symptoms had become less severe with the use of domperidone. Unfortunately, I had to get this med from a source outside of the US. This med has been in existence worldwide for many years, has minimal side effects, and is helpful to many with the chronic condition called gastroparesis, alleviating vomiting & nausea. Please consider approval of this drug for use in the US. There are thousands of people with this stomach dismotility, who may be helped by this approval, not only physically, but also because it would become available through pharmacies, alleviating the cost to the consumer, if it were covered under a prescription drug plan. Thank you.

28 LindaConnorsAKUSPlease rush ok for this drug as some people do have sever reactions to reglan. As an ER nurse I have seen severl with side effects
29 JanHiestandMOUSI have to buy my domperidone from New Zealand even though my specialist at KU Medical Center (Dr. Richard McCallum) prescribes this for me. Without this drug I would have to survive on Ensure. With this drug I can eat solid food. Please, please, please look at the track record of this drug and how it can help people. My insurance will not pay for this drug because it is not FDA approved.
30 David HiestandMOUSMy wife would have to drink Ensure to survive if it were not for this drug. She has to order it from New Zealand. Our insurance company refuses to pay for it since it is not FDA approved, even though our doctor (Dr. Richard McCallum) has prescribed it for her.
31 HiestandDonMOUSMy daughter-in-law would have to drink Ensure to survive if it were not for this drug. She has to pay for it, since the insurance company refuses to pay for it since it is not FDA approved. This despite of the fact that her doctor has prescribed it for her.
32 EvaHiestandMOUSMy daughter-in-law has to buy this drug in order to be able to eat. Without it, she survives on liquids. She contracted viral gastroparesis from a virus. Her insurance company refuses to pay for it as it is not FDA approved. Her doctor has prescribed this medication for her and it is the ONLY medicine that has proved beneficial.

35 Catherine BentonNYUSI had a transplant so I could live, but now I'm dying from GP - PLEASE APPROVE THIS DRUG FOR USE IN THE U.S. !!!
36 BrittanyCaudellUTUSWithout this drug, I wouldn't be able to eat at anything by mouth, it is incredibly expensive to have to pay out of pocket to get such a much needed medication. We suffer so much and we deserve to get the attention from the media/public that most other diseases get, and we should be able to get this drug under our insurance plans.
37 william j MullahyCTUSPlease approve Domperidone, for use by the US public, since this drug is very important to the wellbeing of patients suffering from Gastroparesis, and avail it to them, at a reasonable cost,so their standard insurance policies will help pay for it...

42 SandieHerronFLUSI take this drug and find it invaluable
43 BethellenCoughranMIUScurrently suffering with gastroparesis, many patients would benefit from Domperidone being FDA approved because insurance would cover the cost where that isn't the case now since gastroparesis patients have to use different sources to get their meds

47 HiestandDavid RyanMOUSMy mother has viral gastroparesis. She has to buy her domperidone from New Zealand. Our insurance company will not pay for it. There are over 750 people on-line that formed a support group on Yahoo site for gastroparesis. It is reported on site that some who can't afford the drug have actually had to resort to TUBE FEEDINGS because their insurance would pay for that.
