Domperidone restricted to a POM

9th September 2014

As of the 4th September 2014, domperidone is available only as a Prescription Only Medicine (POM) in the UK. All unexpired stock of products previously designated as Pharmacy medicines (P) have been recalled by the MHRA. This follows the Europe-wide review of the safety and efficacy of domperidone (see our news item 30th April 2014) which has resulted in the conclusion by the UK Commission on Human Medicines (CHM) that products containing domperidone no longer meet the requirements for supply with legal status ā€˜Pā€™.
