  • Title: Controlled trial of bromocriptine, quinoestrol, and placebo in suppression of puerperal lactation.
    Author: Walker S, Groom G, Davis RH, Hibbard BM, Griffiths K.
    Journal: Lancet; 1975 Nov 01; 2(7940):842-4. PubMed ID: 53330.
    Abstract:
    2-bromo-alpha-ergocryptine (bromocriptine) in a dosage of 2-5 mg twice daily caused a rapid fall in plasma prolactin. It was more effective than either a single dose of 4 mg quinoestrol or a placebo in suppressing puerperal lactation, as judged by milk flow and the relief of breast pain and congestion. Patients who received quinoestrol were more comfortable than those who received placebo.
