Aim: This study aimed to describe domperidone prescribing in the outpatient setting in Al-Kharj. Methodology: This is a retrospective study that includes reviewing the electronic prescriptions of domperidone among outpatients in a governmental hospital in Alkharj. Results: During the study period between January 2018 to June 2018, 173 patients received domperidone. More than 54% of the patients were males and the age of most of them was less than 20 years (61.85%). More than 27% of the patients used domperidone for 3 days and 23.12% of them used it for 7 days. Most of the prescriptions where written by residents (97.11%) and most of the prescriptions were prescribed by emergency department (89.02%). Conclusion: The present study showed that domperidone was prescribed commonly in the outpatient setting. More studies are needed to explore the frequency of its prescribing in other settings and to explore the appropriateness of its use in different settings.
