01Milk excretion after Motilium 10 mg

Domperidone is excreted in human breast milk after oral Motilium 10 mg. Breast-fed infants receive less than 0.1% of the maternal weight-adjusted dose. Cardiac effects in the infant cannot be excluded. The decision is whether to discontinue breast-feeding or to discontinue Motilium. A 10 mg tablet is one labelled strength on that carton.

Domperidone 10 mg (Motilium) is not a standard United States pharmacy product, so no US cash price is printed here. This page follows Health Canada and EMA labelling instead. Compounding and personal-import routes are decisions for a clinician, not a coupon. Each link goes to that chain's own pharmacy page. This site does not dispense.
