Hello Anita,
I would like to welcome you to Health Care Magic, and congratulate you for your baby. I understand your concern.
Though Espiride does increase milk supply, there are other, better options. If I was your treating doctor, I would recommend that you see a
lactation consultant to explore non medication options before you take medication to improve your milk supply, evaluation and correction of any modifiable factors such as frequency and thoroughness of breast emptying. If all these factors are evaluated, than Espiride would be a good possible treatment choice for increasing milk production. Espiride is a strong neuroleptic
antipsychotic drug; however, several studies using smaller doses have found it to significantly increase
prolactin levels and breastmilk production in smaller doses that do not produce overt neuroleptic effects on the mother.
A lot of studies have shown that espiride is an effective treatment for inadequate lactation in the puerperium and no serious side effects for infants have been reported. Being that a small amount of the drug passes to the breast milk, there has been reported
drowsiness as side effects.
I hope I answered to your question. I wish to you and your baby a healthy life.
