Is there a procedure to follow for stopping the prescribed domperidone for breastfeeding?

If you want to stop taking domperidone prescribed for breastfeeding, you can do so without any issues if you have decided to stop breastfeeding. However, if you want to continue breastfeeding, have an adequate milk supply, and want to try to stop/reduce the medication, it is recommended to gradually decrease by 1 tablet per week. Suddenly stopping the medication could potentially affect milk production.
