HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, keep feeding the baby on and often this is also one of the way to increase the lactation, the medicine can only betaken when the lactation is very less, and the best medicine is " Metoclopramide " this drug in side effect can increase the lactation, but care has to be taken while taking this tab. due the toxicity of this drug (Extra pyramidal syndrome ) this side effect is not danger, hope this information helps you have nice day.
