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. *********************************************** The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
