This study showed a decrease of antiemetic prescriptions between 2010 and 2017, linked to the sharp decrease in domperidone use from 2011, probably related to warnings about the risk of cardiovascular adverse effects following exposure to domperidone. We could not observe real switches to other antiemetic medications. No switches to ondansetron could be noted either, with only rare exposure during pregnancy, contrary to other countries, like the United States.
