My breastfeeding has stopped, but my breasts are still full of milk. I have been taking Proctinal, but it is not helping. Could you suggest an alternative tablet that is easily available?
It is quite common for breasts to remain full and uncomfortable after stopping breastfeeding, as the milk supply can take several days or even weeks to gradually dry up. Proctinal works by reducing prolactin levels to suppress milk production, but it may not be equally effective for everyone. If you are not getting relief, it is advisable to consult a doctor, who can evaluate your condition and, if needed, prescribe a more effective alternative or check for any underlying cause. In the meantime, wearing a supportive bra, avoiding breast stimulation, and using cold compresses can help reduce discomfort.
