Gosh, I must be really out of it.  I honestly have never heard of prolactin
injections.  Has someone actually synthesized prolactin and it is injectable?
 This is a newie to me.  Who makes it?  What is it called?  I just checked
the 2000 PDR, and there isn't any such injectable listed, but this issue IS a
couple of years old.  Or maybe there really isn't any such drug, and the
physician is thinking wistfully????

Jan -- wishing there really was a prolactin injection which would magically
produce milk in mothers who truly suffer from IMS.
