Gosh, I must be really out of it. I honestly have never heard of prolactin
injections. Has someone actually synthesized prolactin and it is injectable?
This is a newie to me. Who makes it? What is it called? I just checked
the 2000 PDR, and there isn't any such injectable listed, but this issue IS a
couple of years old. Or maybe there really isn't any such drug, and the
physician is thinking wistfully????
Jan -- wishing there really was a prolactin injection which would magically
produce milk in mothers who truly suffer from IMS.
