I am helping a friend who is a Registered Nurse and a lactating mom gather
information for her and her Endocrinologist. Mom has chronic hypertension
which had been treated with success with Parlodel . But this was stopped
during her pregnancy. She had been unable to conceive until on this
medication. Her hypertension is related to increased prolaction levels.
Mom is currently on Trandate, but this has not been decreasing her pressure.


Her questions to the group are:

Have any of you treated moms with this type of hypertension?

What drugs have been used in moms who are lactating to bring blood pressure
down, without affecting lactation?

I have given her information from Medications and Mother's Milk. Thank-you,
Thomas Hale.

I was pleased to hear that she has a Breastfeeding Friendly Pediatrician. Who
has told her she can breastfed and take medication. And her Endocrinologist is
asking for help with treatment for her, he was excited to hear about this
discussion group for Lactation.

Any help would be appreciated.

Please reply to me directly. [log in to unmask]
