Hello,
Though Reglan can be used for three weeks, it is always better to try natural means for milk production. Please improve your general nutrition and liquid intake. If there is no improvement, please ask your doctor if you should restart treatment. Irregular treatment should not be taken. If medication is taken regularly for at least a week, you can see better results. Leptaden is another ayurvedic preparation that can also be used to improve lactation. If there is any nipple problem, you may use a nipple shield. Hope this helps.
