About this study

This is an Expanded Access to Investigational Drug program available through the FDA. Some specific conditions to qualify for this program includes gastroesophageal reflux disease with upper GI symptoms, gastroparesis, and chronic constipation. Patients failing standard therapies for these conditions may be eligible to receive domperidone. This program facilitates availability of investigational drugs, (such as domperidone) to patients with serious diseases or conditions when there is no comparable or satisfactory alternative therapy to diagnose, monitor or treat the patients's disease or condition. Authorization must be obtained from FDA prior to the importation, interstate shipment and administration of domperidone.
