Is it safe for a breastfeeding mother to take Perinorm tablets to help increase her breast milk supply?

Asked by Female, 31 · 25 days ago

It is completely natural to want to support your breast milk supply, but using Perinorm (metoclopramide) for this requires caution. While metoclopramide can increase milk production by raising prolactin levels, it passes into breast milk and can cause side effects like mood changes or fatigue in mothers, and occasionally tummy upset in babies. It is best to consult your doctor or a lactation specialist first. They can help you explore safer, highly effective natural methods?like frequent nursing or pumping?and safely guide you if medication is truly needed.
