Hi
The medicine for stopping milk production is not available over the counter. Consult your doctor. They will prescribe either parlodel or dostinex after making sure that you have no contraindications to taking these medications ( eg severe liver or kidney disease etc).
Dostinex is preferred as it can be used as single dose and has relatively less side effects.
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction
