tik tok - I saw you said on another thread that there are side effects to this injection I don't know the name of the injection) that dries up breastmilk.

What are the side effects?

The injection is commonly used in Belgium, I have got a friend who has used it, and had to pay 60 or so euros for it.

belgo - will give you chapter and verse on this tomorrow. but remember that the meds used in Belgium might be different from the ones they no longer use here.

belgo, I wanted to quote an academic reference but I don't have the time to search for it, sorry, and my books are packed away at the moment (decorating). However, here's a page on another website with an answer to the question. I have never heard of any drugs being prescribed for women in the UK to dry up milk, apart from after stillbirth, and even that was yonks ago.

thank you tik tok!

I find the differences in healthcare between Belgium and the UK fascinating.(I have worked in both systems)
