American Marconi Wireless News - Sunshine Biopharma Gains FDA-Equivalent Clearance in Canada for Domperidone to Treat Cancer-related Nausea

Domperidone is often used for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, especially when patients cannot tolerate other antiemetics which may cause extrapyramidal side effects. Domperidone works by blocking dopamine receptors in the gut, helping reduce nausea and improve gastric motility.

The approval of Domperidone marks another milestone in Sunshine Biopharma's strategic expansion into the generic pharmaceuticals market. According to Cognitive Market Research, global sales of Domperidone will reach $1.36 billion USD by the end of 2025. North America holds approximately 39% of the global market share. The North American Domperidone industry grew from $440 million USD in 2021 to $533 million USD in 2025. It is estimated that the North American Domperidone industry will reach $781 million USD by 2033, a CAGR of 4.89%. The approximate percentage market share for each of the three North American countries in 2025: United States (73.7%), Canada (17.0%), Mexico (9.30%).

"We are proud of Nora Pharma's continued progress in bringing essential medications to market," said Dr. Steve Slilaty, CEO of Sunshine Biopharma. "The approval of Domperidone not only enhances our growing generics portfolio but also reinforces our commitment to improving patient access to effective treatments. Domperidone is widely prescribed for the management of gastrointestinal disorders and is recognized for its efficacy and safety profile. With this approval, Nora Pharma is well-positioned to meet the needs of healthcare providers and patients across Canada."
