Now, to all of you that answered Parlodel -- yes, that was actually fairly
recent.  However there are some of us r-ea-llll-y old lactnuts that remember
-- ta da!! Deladumone!!!  Given via injection (anyone remember how to give a
real injection anymore?  In the gluteous maximus without hitting the sciatic
nerve??) BEFORE the placenta was delivered.  Not a moment later -- we didn't
want mom to change her mind!

ANd I haven't a clue has to how it worked.  Parlodel decreases prolactin.

I think Deladumone was estrogenic.
