title: Comparison of quinestrol and Tace for relief of postpartum breast discomfort.
abstract: A single 2-mg dose of quinestrol was demonstrated safe and effective for controlling postpartum lactation and for alleviating breast discomfort. A double-blind comparison to Tace 72 mg every 12 hours for 2 days, and to placebo, was made in 134 patients. The single oral dose of quinestrol showed efficacy equal to the 2-day regimen of Tace. Both were superior to placebo.
