Can I Take Parlodel to Stop Lactation?
At one point, Parlodel was approved to suppress lactation after childbirth, typically for women who chose not to breastfeed or could not breastfeed. For instance, it was sometimes used to suppress lactation in women after a stillbirth. However, Parlodel is not without risk, and the drug is no longer approved for this use. Strokes, heart attacks, seizures, and problems with blood pressure have been reported in women who used Parlodel to suppress lactation, and the risks usually outweigh the possible benefits.
