Introduction
Breast milk is
generally
considered to be
the optimal form
of nutrition for all
infants
Mothers of very
preterm infants
often find it
difficult to provide
adequate
quantities of
expressed breast
milk to meet their
infants needs over
prolonged periods
of time
Medications such
as domperidone
and
metoclopramide
are often
recommended
Introduction
Domperidone
A gastric
motility agent
Used as a
galactagogue
Introduction
Breastfeeding
women not to
use
domperidone
Introduction
Domperidone
antidopaminergic
increases
prolactin
concentration
augments
lactation.
10 mg or 20 mg
3 times daily
prokinetic
oral dose of
domperidone is
20 mg given 4
times/ day, and
transient
adverse effects
reported include
abdominal
cramps, dry
mouth, and
headache
Introduction
Galactagogues
Metoclopramide
Have been linked to accelerated declines in the
protein concentration of breast milk and also to
changes in the electrolyte composition of breast milk.
Study
Setting
and
Population
mothers who had delivered
infants at 31 weeks gestation,
who were mechanically
expressing breast milk by
using a double collecting
system, and who experienced
lactation failure 3 weeks after
delivery
Between October
2003 and November
2007
Include criteria
a decreasing milk
supply by 30% from
peak volume (based
on maternal
account)
inability to provide
adequate breast
milk to meet the
daily nutritional
intake of their infant
Lactation
failure was
defined by at
least 1 of the
following
criteria:

medication
known to alter
the effect of
domperidone
(eg, ranitidine)
or interact with
it (eg,
haloperidol)

Results
Our study showed that
domperidone increased
serum prolactin levels and
breast milk volume
substantially,
Conclusion
Our study shows that domperidone, at a dose of 10
mg 3 times daily for 2 weeks, effectively increases
breast milk volume without alteration in the
nutrient composition of very preterm mothers milk.
The increase in calcium concentration in breast milk
after domperidone use requires additional study
because it relates to both maternal and infant
effects.
