502 ElaineSebaldILUSMy 17-year-old daughter has had gastroparesis for two years. It is very hard to control, and greatly impacts her quality of life and ability to keep up with schoolwork. She tried Reglan but experienced motor abnormalities. Her doctor switched her to domperidone, which we get either from a compounding pharmacy or from Canada. It isn't entirely successful, but it gives her some measure of control over her symptoms without noticeable side effects. It is essential to her ability to maintain a somewhat normal routine. If she had to manage without the domperidone, she would not have any hope of functioning normally day to day. We should depend on our doctors to use their professional judgement in prescribing domperidone. Please don't withhold it from people who desperately need it.

505 HeatherReddoutILUSI respectfully ask the FDA to consider the important benefits domperidone offers to those suffering from gastroparesis and for breastfeeding mothers unable to maintain a full supply.

510 HyokLeeCAUSThe warning against Domperidone is another case of the Bush administration's ties to big drug companies.
511 HeatherGlucklichINUSIt's also far safer than Reglan for increasing milk supply in lactating women. We NEED this drug!

513 ShannonEichenauerINUSThis is needed.

515 ccorbiPAUSplease approve this helpful medication...ban formula if you really care:^)
516 HelenWoodMDUSUsed on the advice of my physician for GI problems for the past 2 years. Enormously helpful!
517 andreahustonCTUSdomperidone is my daughter's only hope of coping with gastroparesis, which, for her, has been debilitating, has caused her to leave her job, lose 20 lbs. in 3 wks. and she has not been able to eat solids. she exists on ensure, chicken broth and gatorade. how dare anyone deny my daughter the only chance she has to live with this illness. no one understands unless they live with the need for domperidone.

524 edwardfrankALUSI am a physician who developed gastroparesis after open heart surgery. Nothing worked for my gstroparesis with out disabling side effects until I ordered domperidome from Canada. Now my life is tollerable and eating with out severe discomfort is possible. It is ashame patients in the USA are denied this effective treatment that has few or no side effects. I hope it can be made availible to patients in the USA
525 DonnaKoenigAZUSMy daughter has GP and she desperately needs this medication to be approved by the FDA, so her insurance will cover the cost . It is the only medication that lets her eat solid food.

527 Anna EdgarFLUSPlease approve the use of Domperidone.
528 Kathy Leeper, MDNEUSwe need this drug

530 KathrynDohertyMIUSI used this drug safely and without a problem for 7 months, as "off label" to promote lactation. My baby is healthier because of it. Please consider approving this drug due to the MANY benefits, and miniscule risks
531 JeffNobleGAUS
532 HeatherLightleNMUSWithout Domperidone, I never would have been able to breastfeed my son until he turned 1 - which the AAP recommends as the MINIMUM length to nurse. Please - get the formula makers hands out of your pockets, and see something more than the almighty dollar. Your decision is affecting real people - and real people's (babies) futures.
533 VickiRoyMEUSI am an IBCLC and have used Domperidome with wonderful results with our breastfeeding Moms. When Relgan and herbal remedies have failed to improve a Mom's milk supply, Domperidome has sometimes doubled Mom's output. I have never had a Mom with any side effects beyond a mild headache occasionally. Please pursue evidence based research studies to prove the safe use of this medication for lactating women. They deperately need to succeed with nursing their infants and this is the only med that helps. Thank you.
534 KayO'HaraGAUSI support the FDA approval of domperidone for lactating mothers.

540 DavidRosePAUSMy 13 year old daughter has not eaten or drank anything for 52 days and is on a N-J tube. GP has drained the life out of her, she needs help.
541 SusanStaffordTNUSI took Domperidone for 24 months with no side effects.
542 DonaldManningCAUSI can only obtain this drug in Canada, using a prescription from my U.S. physician. I have tried 3 other medications which either had no effect or severe side effects. I would like to be able to obtain this drug in the U.S. since my prescription coverage won't pay for it.
543 karriebaylorCAUSI am needing this product and cannot get it in the US
544 KathryneBredbeckUTUS
545 Holly LetoCTUSThis drug is the preferred drug when supply issues come up. It is much easier on a new mom than reglan which can cause more depression in women who are particularily vulnerable to PPD. Please give us a safer drug.
546 StacyCayceORUSPlease approve this drug, I took it for nearly a year, and it would have been the only way my son would have been able to have gotten breastmilk.
