Re      : Cabergoline(Dostinex)


Cabergoline is a new dopamine agonist use to treat parkinson's syndrome. It
also inhibits the release of prolactin and can be used in patients with
hyperprolactinemia.

I would surmise that it would be really difficult to control the dose to
just suppress lactation,  without totally inhibiting lactation.  This would
be a risky product to use in a woman who wished to continue lactating.
