A member asked:
I am going back to work soon and would like to stop breastfeeding. is there any over the counter meds i can take to dry up breast milk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast milk: stop: If you are certain about stopping breast feeding, ask your OB provider about "bromergotcryptine" which will stop prolactin production in the pituitary, and your breast milk will cease being produced. No over the counter medications will affect milk production effectively.
