title: Pyridoxine treatment of galactorrhoea-amenorrhoea syndromes.
abstract: The effect of pyridoxine (B6) on galactorrhoea, amenorrhoea, and the galactorrhoea-amenorrhoea syndrome was studied in 22 patients. No consistent change in serum prolactin concentration and no resumption of ovulation were seen during 3 months B6 therapy. Inappropriate lactation ceased in 3 of 10 patients with galactorrhoea alone, and menses were restored in 2 of 9 patients with the galactorrhoea-amenorrhoea syndrome while on B6 therapy. Our results suggest that B6 is not generally effective in  the treatment of galactorrhoea-amenorrhoea syndromes.
