A member asked:
If i take dostinex (cabergoline) to stop breast milk flow, will i have side effects like saggy breast or chances of getting cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dostinex (cabergoline): Dostinex (cabergoline) works by reducing prolactin, a hormone produced by the pituitary. It will have no effect on the sagginess of your breast. Thats up to time and genetics. I know of no association between Dostinex (cabergoline) and cancer.
