Hi Mario, Bob, Don, and Hi All, You may have missed it in a search Bob... It is spelled with an "m"... Domperidone.... As Don pointed out ... available outside US.... Primarily used to increase milk production in lactating mothers... but also used in Parkinson's in conjunction with some agonists.... Apomorphine Apomorphine is also a D1 and D2 agonist, but since it is given parentally via subcutaneous injection, its use is generally witheld until problems with motor fluctuations and 'on-off' fluctuations occur which are not being easily controlled via other drugs. As a result of this, initiation of therapy is best instituted in the context of a specialist Parkinson's clinic. Side effects: nausea or vomiting.-on account of this, the patient needs to be given Domperidone as an anti-emetic prior to the use of Apomorphine. http://medweb.bham.ac.uk/http/depts/clin_neuro/teaching/tutorials/parkinsons/parkinsons1.html If you search in Google for domperidone AND parkinson you will get many hits....
