According to LactMed / Toxnet, it is contraindicated for lactation because it likely will permanently suppress lactation. Some countries use it for that purpose and it is considered safer for the mother than bromocriptine / parlodel.
Google "lactmed" without the quote marks and use the drug name in the search window. Then hit Download twice to print the information.

I facilitate a weekly BF moms' support group. One of the moms has
struggled with supply for her now 1 month old, not back to birth weight
until 3 weeks. She has not come to me for one-to-one help, just the
support group. She says she was given dostinex (cabergoline) either
before she was pregnant or early in her pregnancy--I'm not clear exactly
when. But.........are there long term effects of taking this? Could
this be part of her issue with this baby? She did breastfeed her almost
2 year old without issues.
