Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) is one of the drugs that Tom Hale has been
studying while here in Australia. One of my NMAA group's mums took
part in the testing. I haven't seen any 'official' results yet, but
she told me that in this study there was indeed an effect. This was
not done by measuring volumes of milk - it was using Peter Hartmann's
department's fancy techniques to measure blood flow in the breast as
a measure of breast function, after just a single dose of the drug.

So it seems that it is not just a myth. It will be interesting to see
the study when properly written up.
