Now, to all of you that answered Parlodel -- yes, that was actually fairly
recent. However there are some of us r-ea-llll-y old lactnuts that remember
-- ta da!! Deladumone!!! Given via injection (anyone remember how to give a
real injection anymore? In the gluteous maximus without hitting the sciatic
nerve??) BEFORE the placenta was delivered. Not a moment later -- we didn't
want mom to change her mind!
ANd I haven't a clue has to how it worked. Parlodel decreases prolactin.
I think Deladumone was estrogenic.
