Effects of lisuride and bromocriptine on inhibition of lactation and on serum prolactin levels: comparative double-blind study.
The effects of lisuride (Schering) and bromocriptine (Parlodel, Sandoz), two dopaminergic drugs, on the inhibition of puerperal lactation were compared in a double-blind study. At the dosages selected, lisuride was as effective as bromocriptine for the inhibition of lactation but bromocriptine was more effective in lowering serum prolactin levels.
