Hi Lisa,
Yes, you would want to wean off the Maxalon slowly and there could be a
rebound drop in supply with the abrupt withdrawal but it sounds to me like
the core issue is ineffective removal and working on that should be the
priority. If she is going to need a pharmaceutical galactogogue long term
then Domperidone (Motillium) would be preferable. Dosage 30-60mg/day.  Info
sheet from Royal Woman's in Melb is a good resource for her to take to her
Dr.

Subject: use of maxalon

> Hello all,
> Lisa in Canberra here. Just a question about use of maxalon. I am seeing a
> Mum with a 4 w.o. who is having  supply  and latching toubles. She clicks
> when feeding, not at first but towards the latter part of the feed. Anyway
> she was prescibed maxalon by her G.P to increase milk supply, and her
> course is now finished. She is worried about her supply decreasing. I said
> if she continues feeding frequently milk supply should increase but I
> wasn't sure if a sudden stopping of maxalon would correlate to a drop in
> supply.
> Also, what is the best dose to increase supply?
> She is feeing 8-10 times in 24 hours., including twice overnight.
> Alos she has just been on a dose of antibiotics for mastitis.
> Her breast still has lumps in them, so I recomended physio referral for
> ultrasound.
> Baby is also going to have some osteopathy to see if this helps the latch.
> That's all for now.
> From Lisa in Canberra, who is very new at this private L.C. business, but
