<<As far as I know they took Parlodel off the market a couple of years ago.>>
The drug Parlodel is still available but is no longer recommended by the FDA
to dry up milk due to a high incidence of high blood pressure and stroke.  It
is often used in fertility clinics where mother has a high prolactin level
causing infertility.
From what I hear, a few doctors are still using it post partum to dry up milk.
