Brief description of the studyThe objective of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of risk minimisation measures and describe prescribing patterns of domperidone, including those pertaining to the off-label use of domperidone, in routine clinical practice in 5 European Union countries. Primary Objectives: To describe the prescribing patterns before and after the changes to the domperidone label and estimate and compare the overall proportion of domperidone prescriptions before and after implementation of the risk minimisation measures regarding the following measures: - Composite endpoint consisting of the following components: - Maximum daily dose; - Duration of use (>7 days) - Concomitant medications that prolong the QT-interval or are potent CYP3A4 inhibitors; - Prescribing to patients with contraindicated conditions, e.g., moderate or severe liver disease, underlying cardiac diseases; and - Prescribing for off-label indications Secondary Objectives: To estimate the overall proportion of domperidone prescriptions before and after implementation of the risk minimisation measures for domperidone for each of the components of the composite endpoint individually, the time trend of apparent indication, and days supplied (≤7 days vs. >7 days), and the age and sex of the people receiving prescriptions.
