My breasts had become hard and painful, so I asked the doctor for medication to stop the milk production; I was exhausted from constantly pumping, as the breasts kept filling up and hardening. I was advised to take just one tablet of Caberlact, and the milk flow stopped after taking it. When will the milk start coming back?

Caberlact (cabergoline) works by lowering prolactin, the hormone responsible for breast milk production, so after taking even a single tablet, milk usually reduces or stops for a prolonged period; whether milk can restart depends on several factors such as time since delivery, prior milk supply, breast stimulation, and individual response, and while relactation may sometimes be possible with consistent breastfeeding or pumping, it cannot be guaranteed, therefore since you had breast fullness, hardness, and pain before taking the medicine, it is strongly advised to consult your gynecologist or lactation specialist for proper evaluation and guidance on whether restarting milk is suitable and to ensure safe management of breast health.
