For breastfeeding mothers who have decided to use domperidone, also known by its generic name motilium, to increase breast milk, the next logical step is to buy the drug. Buying domperidone for low milk supply can be a challenge, but select compounding pharmacies and online drug stores are the best option.

Domperidone for Low Milk Supply

In the United States, domperidone is only available by prescription, and is available at compounding pharmacies. Unlike typical drug stores with a pharmacist's shop within, a compounding pharmacy dispenses regular pharmaceuticals and also creates custom compounds for patients. For instance, if a patient needs a specific drug at an odd dosage, the compounding pharmacy can make a custom blend. In the case of domperidone for low milk supply, the motilium is custom-blended for mothers using the drug for breastfeeding.

Increase Breastmilk With Motilium

While most compounding pharmacies in Canada carry the drug, as do many regular drug stores, in the United States domperidone has faced controversy in recent years. As described in the article Domperidone Can Help With Low Milk Supply, leading researchers such as Dr. Jack Newman of the Toronto-based Newman Breastfeeding Clinic and Institute have been prescribing motilium to increase breastmilk for more than a decade. The drug is considered by specialists to be safe, with few side effects.
