Dried breast milk due to cabgolin

2026-08-29 19:48:18
I had mastitis about two weeks ago. A local doctor prescribed Cabgolin (cabergoline) without discussing it with me beforehand. I took four tablets over two days, as advised. Before taking Cabgolin, I had a good milk supply. Since then, my breast milk supply has almost completely stopped, and it has been two weeks now. My mastitis has completely resolved. I have been taking Galact tablets for the past four days, and after taking them, I am now seeing a very small amount of milk, but my supply is still extremely low. I am very worried about my condition. Is it possible to reverse the effect of Cabgolin and restore my milk supply? What should I do to increase my milk production again?

The medicine you were given works by directly lowering the hormone that drives milk production, so some drop in supply afterward is an expected effect of it, not a sign anything else is wrong, and it can often be rebuilt with consistent stimulation.
Next Steps
Keep up frequent skin to skin contact and feeding or pumping every couple of hours, since supply usually responds gradually to that rather than to any single fix.

Frequent breast stimulation is the most important start. Skin to slin contact with baby frequently can help breastfeeding and feeding behavior.
