As the hypophysis is outside the blood brain barrier, domperidone may cause an increase in prolactin levels. In rare cases, this hyperprolactinaemia may lead to neuro endocrinological side effects such as galactorrhoea, gynaecomastia and amenorrhoea.

Do not use if you have:

• Known hypersensitivity to domperidone or any of the excipients.
• Prolactin-releasing pituitary tumour (prolactinoma).
• When stimulation of the gastric motility could be harmful: gastro-intestinal haemorrhage, mechanical obstruction or perforation.
• Hepatic and/or renal impairment.

Patients who find they have symptoms that persist, and are having to take domperidone continuously for more than 2 weeks should be referred to their GP.
