Since my breast milk supply dropped after I stopped taking Perinorm, is it safe to continue taking it, for how long can I use it, what are the side effects, and what other ways can I increase my breast milk production to avoid using baby formula?
While Perinorm (metoclopramide) can temporarily boost supply, it is generally not recommended for long-term use?usually limited to a few weeks?due to potential side effects like drowsiness, fatigue, or mood changes. Please consult your doctor before restarting it. To naturally increase your supply, try nursing or pumping more frequently, as frequent breast emptying stimulates production. Ensuring skin-to-skin contact, staying well-hydrated, and working with a lactation consultant can also wonderfully support your breastfeeding journey.
