Stopping the Domperidone

Although most women do not experience discomfort when stopping the medication, gradual weaning from the medication will help the mother's milk supply to adjust without frustrating the baby or causing her discomfort.

It is very important to stop the domperidone slowly.

Decrease the domperidone to 20 mg 3 times a day for 2 weeks.
Decrease the domperidone to 10 mg 4 times a day for two weeks.
Continue to decrease the domperidone to 10 mg 3 times a day for two weeks.
Decrease the domperidone to 10 mg 2 times a day for two weeks.
Decrease the domperidone to 10 mg once a day for two weeks.
Then stop.
