Just some thoughts...

​Domperidone is a drug used on a daily basis for relief of common problems.
Galactorrhea is an adverse drug reaction NOT commonly encountered.​
Therefore, maybe it does not elevate milk production on all breastfeeding
women precisely because they don´t all *suffer* the side effect... because
even if it rises prolactin in everyone, not everyone has galactorrea (that
is, milk excretion). Does this make sense?

​On the other hand, there is a small study that suggests the prolactin
response to the domperidone and metoclopramide is most influenced by parity
(that is, number of babies the woman has had).​ So, giving the medication
to a woman with one baby might not get the same results as giving it to a
woman with three children...

Lots to ponder and study!!
