Guest guest Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 oh and re: generic and the anti-dom attitudes not being from pharma - People on the CDC are from Pharma. People from CDC, IOM, NIH... all the agencies that provide funding, they are people who have financial relationships with pharma. Even the FDA. and the formula companies are owned by pharma. there's a definite interest in DECREASED breastfeeding success. lyla Re: domperidone I'm with Jan that Big Pharma is pressuring the FDA. Wouldn't be the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 It is so interesting, as an LLLL I can't really talk about DP anymore, however in PP one of my moms (who is a middle management for FDA) went and got hers last week from a compound pharmacy here in Columbia, MD??? So go and figure out. My understanding is it is not illegal for mother to buy or use it, however it is illegal for Dr to Rx, and pharmacist to sell it.KindlyAnn-- Mother's milk is the normal food for human babies.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Hi, It's OTC in the Netherlands as well, also as much as you like and also much cheaper (= insured, so 'free' for the patient) with a prescription. Very strange indeed, that there is so much confusion about it. Is it not administered to infants in the US? As far as I know, young children here get it to combat sickness. Hale's rule is: if it is okay for kids, mom can take it while breastfeeding. (Very late reaction... there were so many unread messages... I'm catching up! ;-)) Bye, nne Vanderveen IBCLC, Netherlands domperidone Dear Friends: Wight, the neonatologist, told LACTNET that her insurance company would not insure her group practice if anyone prescribed this drug.A physician from Nebraska (Kathy Leeper?) described on LACTNET the legal challenges and hassle that she went through when the FDA went after her.You can check in the Archives of LACTNET for details.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Just curious, here in the U.S., " OTC " means that you don't need a prescription. Are you saying in the Netherlands OTC means WITH a prescription but no limits on amounts received?

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Aaahhh, sorry... I see now that my message could be understood in different ways. I'll clear up. ;o) Your doctor can prescribe it. He will decide how much you need for now and then you can pick it up in the pharmacy with the prescription he wrote you and it will be paid for by the health insurance. You can also buy it OTC, together with liquorice and formula and adhesive plaster and a cream for your hands and ibuprofen and then you can take as much as you like from every single item, but... you will then have to pay the whole bill. Therefore, if you feel you have a good reason to use domperidone, you'd better check with your doctor, because then you don't have to pay. Like someone else said: it can add up, if you need it for a longer period. If you don't want the hassle (like I didn't, when I tried to relactate for my deadly ill father in 2004, hoping I might prevent him from dying from NEC by offfering him my milk per tube... didn't have enough time, unfortunately... he died shortly after and the doctors probably wouldn't have allowed me anyway...), you can just spend the money and see if it works. Does this answer your question...? :-) Where were your relatives born? I'm in Assen, in the north of the country.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Hi and all, We have a compounding pharmacy that has been compounding Dom for years. They must love us LC's as we bring them good business. The big problem with this is cost. They sell Dom for much more then Inhouse does. What i usually do is have the HCP write the first prescription to be compounded at our local pharmacy to keep the HCP in the loop. If the Domperidone is working then I give moms the UK info to save money. I am very relieved that Inhouse is still a good option for our gals.
