Read the Comment.

Ergot derivative alkaloid which is used to suppress lactation by inhibiting Prolactin release. Also used with levodopa for treatment of Prolactinoma and Parkinson disease.

No untoward effects have been reported in breastfed infants of mothers who were treated (or erroneously had received medication) and decided to resume breastfeeding.

Non-pharmacological methods used to suppress lactation are as effective as pharmacological ones.
