No, domperidone is not available over-the-counter in the USA. It requires a prescription from a doctor.
Why is Domperidone Not OTC in the USA?
The FDA hasn’t approved domperidone for sale without a prescription. This decision considers potential side effects, particularly the risk of cardiac arrhythmias. Therefore, a doctor’s supervision is necessary to manage these risks and ensure safe usage.
Alternative Options
If you are looking for relief from symptoms that domperidone treats, discuss alternatives with your physician. They can assess your specific needs and recommend appropriate medication or other treatments.
| Nausea and Vomiting | Metoclopramide, Ondansetron, Prochlorperazine |
| Gastroparesis | Erythromycin, Metoclopramide |
Always consult your doctor before starting any new medication, including over-the-counter remedies. They can help determine the safest and most effective treatment plan for your individual situation.
