Julie,
Most likely this would be the medication terbutaline, it is used off-label to slow or stop contractions. Terbutaline is actually an asthma medication used to help relax the smooth muscles of the bronchioles and also then works to relax the smooth muscle of the uterus. As far as I know, though I could be wrong, there are no known effects to milk production.
