From what I understand, Domperidone's medical use is for GI Motility.... My question is, with the herbs that are taken in conjunction with domperidone, will the dom make the herbs eliminate itself in my system before it had time to fully absorb?

Domperidone is an anti-dopamine agonist whose main function is to aid gastric motility but it's also used to treat reflux. The anti-dopamine agonist properties means it inhibits dopamine which has been suspected as a prolactin inhibitor and so that's how prolactin is caused to increase while taking the domperidone.

Domperidone facilitates motility but absorption still happens which is why some of us gain a few pounds while on the protocols.

For more information kindly discuss the above with your doctor.
