Domperidone exposure increases proportionally with doses in the 10 to 20 mg dose range. [9] There is a 2- to 3-fold accumulation in levels of domperidone with frequent repeated oral administration of domperidone (four times per day (every 5 hours) for 4 days). [ 9 ]
Synthetic galactagogues such as domperidone and metoclopramide interact with the dopamine system in such a way to increase the production of prolactin; specifically, by blocking the D 2 receptor. [3] There is some evidence to suggest that mothers who are unable to meet their infants' breastfeeding needs may benefit from galactogogues.
Breastfeeding within the first hour of life protects the newborn from acquiring infections and reduces risk of death during the neonatal period.

Whereas D 2 receptor agonists suppress prolactin secretion, dopamine D 2 receptor antagonists like domperidone and metoclopramide have the opposite effect, strongly inducing the pituitary secretion of prolactin, and are sometimes used as prolactin releasers, for instance to correct hypoprolactinemia (low prolactin levels) in the treatment of lactation failure.

A former Tennessee teacher who got pregnant after raping a 12-year-old boy pleaded guilty and has been sentenced to 25 years in prison with no parole. On Dec. 20, Alissa McCommon, 39, of Covington ...
Deudomperidone (developmental code name CIN-102; also known as deuterated domperidone) is a dopamine antagonist medication which is under development in the United States for the treatment of gastroparesis. [1] [2] [3] It acts as a selective dopamine D 2 and D 3 receptor antagonist and has peripheral selectivity.
