Is Donperidone Effective Gastroparesis And Diverticulitis Without Side Effects?
I was diagnosed with gastroparesis and diverticulitis. The only treatment option the G.I. MD gave me 2as to order a drug called donperidone (sp!) From the internet sites in Canada will sell it to you. How do I know I m getting what I ordered and also, for all the reasons the FDA yanked it, why should I risk a heart attack. I d rather juice and get my vitamin deficiency taken care of than do this. It is scary. Tell me your opinion on whether or not donperidone is worth the RISK OF HEART ATTACK?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read your history of getting diagnosed as Gastroparesis and diverticulitis and your MD Gastro asking you to order Domperidone from internal sources or internet.
Yes, Domperidone is still the medicine of choice and it is possible that it may not be available in Canada as is not available in few other countries.
Do not worry about heart attack as it is not related to Domperidone.
Stop worrying and get the medicines and start as soon as possible.
