Re:  Metoclopramide dosages

Prior studies have indicated that the optimum metoclopramide dosage for
increasing breast milk production lies between 30-45 mg/day divided in
three or four doses, or more commonly 10mg three times daily.

Doses less than 20 mg / day were ineffective.  Doses higher than 30 mg may
tend to produce more side effects, particularly depression.  Studies seem
to indicate that mothers whose supply is low, but present, do better
with Reglan than those whose supply is exceedingly low or not present.

As for current studies, I'm not aware of any.  As for the other "unknown"
herbal substances, who's to know what these things are.
