Effects on milk supply
Lisuride suppresses serum prolactin increases in a dose-related fashion.[ 4 , 5 ] Comparative studies have found lisuride comparable in efficacy to bromocriptine, although rebound lactation occurred in more patients treated with lisuride 0.4 mg daily than in those treated with bromocriptine 5 mg daily.[ 6 , 7 ] Rebound lactation appears to be less with a higher dose of 0.6 mg daily and with 15 days of therapy rather than 10 days.[ 8 , 9 ]
