title: [Domperidone and hyperprolactinemia].
abstract: Nine patients with hyperprolactinemia and one patient with pituitary microadenona were observed for 6 years. They were induced by administration of domperidone. The clinical characteristic of the 9 patients was summarized and analysed. The results suggest that prescribe domperidone for fertile women should pay more attention to its adverse effect on inducing hyperprolactinemia and even pituitary microadenona.
