Perinorm (metoclopramide) is sometimes used to increase breast milk because it raises prolactin levels. However, it should only be taken under close medical supervision. While it can be effective, metoclopramide can pass into breast milk and may cause side effects, including mood changes like sadness or anxiety in mothers. Before starting this medication, it is best to consult your doctor or a lactation specialist to explore natural techniques like frequent nursing. If your doctor prescribes Perinorm, they will guide you on the safest, lowest dose for a short duration to protect you and your baby.
