Low milk supply issues
Hi Doctor...I have delivered twins babies through IVF who are 4months old now...I had almost no milk supply and I have been taking domperidone(domstal) for a month now thrice a day.The volume has risen to approximately 15 to 20ml per day.Can I continue with the tablet? If so how long should I continue? Thank you!!

Next Steps
Taper it gradually one dose a week
