What herb did you take?

Domperidone is not approved for use in the US. It however, can be compounded independently by compounding pharmacists.

There is one anecdotal paper on a movement disorder in an elderly patient on PubMed:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21852591

However, this seems unlikely for the vast majority of patients using it.

more information here:

This is a heavy duty drug...taking ANYTHING with it could cause a potential interaction. Herbs especially can be dangerous with RX drugs.
