Hormonal therapy for suppressing lactation.
In recent years, hormonal suppression of undesired lactation has been widely employed. A review of the literature confirms the efficacy of this method, at first with estrogen alone and later with progestogen-estrogen combinations. The authors also discuss retrospective studies of the incidence of thromboembolism in such patients, and report on a new double-blind study of the successful use of norethynodrel and mestranol as a suppressant.
