Domperidone is apparently not compatible with H2 blockers such as Tagamet / Zantac. The general opinion seems to be to stick with a basic antacid if using domperidone, eg Rennie, milk of magnesia, etc. Note that antacid is not considered to be essential, so it could be omitted.
If using the 48 hour regime for domperidone, it might be a good idea to go with the "extra" 3x dose at the final interval, as Stan's guide states, since I've heard that domperidone may not "accumulate" as well as metoclopramide.
However, I think the main advantage of the 48 hour regime over the stat is reduced EPS risk, but since domperidone has a very low EPS risk then I'm sure there's any real point of doing the 48 hour regime, and it may just be easier to go with the stat method.... (but if someone has some solid evidence to correct me on this, I'd be happy to learn more).
Although I wrote 20mg stat for domperidone in the above notes (based on peaceful pill handbook), I've seen threads with people using higher amounts, so you could probably just go with 30mg.
So my view would be perhaps just go with the stat regime, and use the same dose as you would for meto, and just observe the antacid point made above....
However, the above are purely my thoughts based on the limited research I've done. I obviously can't give any guarantees as to how correct they are, and I'm no expert.
