<<In a Malawi program for HIV positive mothers, those who choose not to
breastfeed are given one postpartum tablet of carbegoline or dolstinex.
A doctor there reports that this drug is very effective in stopping
lactation without any side effect on  the mother or on the child. No
breast engorgement, no dripping milk, no breast abscess.<<

Cabergoline (Dostinex) is in Tom Hale's book, ed 2002, p.99. It is much more
effective than bromocriptine, with less side effects. 2 studies about it.
