Effects on milk supply
A small preliminary study compared quinagolide (CV 205-502) to bromocriptine for 21 days starting in the first day postpartum in mothers who did not wish to breastfeed. Serum prolactin normalized more rapidly with bromocriptine and more women had breast symptoms with quinagolide. Efficacy in suppressing lactation was similar between the groups.[1]
