1101 ValenciaThreatsLAUSmy cousin needs this med,she is in dier need of Domperidone to passed the FDA please.!!!it hurts me just to see her trying to digest anything she eats!!!
1102 CaroleHayesTXUSI and many other breastfeeding women have taken this drug without any problems -- if you would do a study, you might find out for yourselves that side-effects are few and far between, and generally mild, and certainly not as bad or as common as those for Reglan, which IS approved for use in the U.S.
1103 ClintHayesTXUSMy wife tried all the herbal remedies and they barely helped. Thank god she was able to get domperidone for her milk supply. She's had virtually no side effects--all completely benign--and the overall effect has been to increase her milk supply by a factor of four. It is utterly ridiculous, and borderline criminal, that the FDA hasn't approved it for boosting lactation. FDA, please stop "protecting" my wife in this manner.
1104 stacytaylorGAUSmy cousin ebony to suffering from gastroparesis and it's hard to see someone you love sick and the medication they need isn't approved or legal in the U.S.A. means america needs to change their views and morals. I could think of so many things that actually hurts and kills people that's legal here like CIGARETTES, but something that's used solely for the purpose of treating a disease somone didn't ask for is illegal. FDA please reevaluate your decision this is suppose to be the land of the free!!!!
1105 AnonymousAnonymousFLUSI was recently diagnosed with gastroparesis after constant vominting for three weeks. I am currently prescribed reglan and zofran. Zofran is very expensive and is not approved by my primary insurance aetna for more than 12 pills a month and not covered at all through my part D medicare plan. I need to take anti nausea vomiting medication 3 times a day. Even with that I am still on a liquid diet and still vomiting some. The best medication to help this condition is domperidone yet since the fda cannot approve it I have to keep going back to the hospital to get intravenous medications. Please help improve the quality of my life and others who are suffering from this life changing disease.
1106 LynetteHenkFLUSA family member suffers from severe gastroparesis. There is no medication that can control the constant vomiting. This family member is on a liquid diet and still throwing up with reglan and zofran at the dosage approved by the insurance company. They allow 12 pills per month and the prescription is supposed to be for 3 a day 90 a month. If this medication would be approved it is much more affordable. I can't stand seeing a family member in and out of the hospital to control this severe gastroparesis since there is no medication we can afford to obtain. Approve this now and save the many people suffering with this!
1107 RoselynWhitmoreILUSMy son-in-law really needs this drug.

1113 LouisNeapolitanNJUSI am 86 yrs. old and I suffered for 15 yrs. with bouts of stomach pain, vomiting, and diarhea. I was hospitalized several times and even had exploratory surgery 4 yrs ago. Finally, I went to Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia and met with Dr. Robert Fisher. After several tests, (none of which were performed in NJ because the doctors either didn't know about them or the hospitals were not equipped to perform these specialized tests)I was diagnosed with Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome and put on Domperidone. It has been like a miracle and I have only had one attack in the past four years and that was because I didn't take my medication as prescribed for a few days. Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome is also known as Abdominal migraines in children and you can get more info by going to the web site of NORD - National Organization for Rare Disorders www.rarediseases.org DOMPERIDONE NEEDS FDA APPROVAL TODAY!!!
1114 AnonymousAnonymousCOUSThere is so much pressure on women to breastfeed, but the only pharmaceutical help in the US can cause severe depression and suicidal ideation. Domperidone had been used for milk supply issues for YEARS in other countries. Our drug system is so messed up that the drug makers can't afford to get FDA approval on this since they can't patent it and charge an arm and a leg for it. Don't let this fact keep this drug out of the US.

1123 KimberlyStegman-AdkinsOHUSFDA really needs to get on the ball researching a medication and get it out on the market ASAP to help all Gastroparesis patients. Why are forgetting the lesser known conditions in the USA but so much to cancer, shouldn't it be equal fairness? Sincerely, Kimberly www.gpawarenessfund.com
