cabergoline suppress lactation 1 mg single dose postpartum guideline contraindications preeclampsia

I’m very sorry for her loss.
“Carbogoline” is likely cabergoline, used to stop milk production after baby death. It must be prescribed or confirmed by an obstetrician/doctor because blood pressure and medical history matter.
Usual adult regimens:
  • If within the first 24 hours after delivery, before milk is well established: 1 mg by mouth once. This is usually two 0.5 mg tablets together, one time only.
  • If milk has already come in / breasts are full or leaking: 0.25 mg every 12 hours for 2 days. With 0.5 mg tablets, this means half a tablet morning and half a tablet evening for 2 days.
Do not give it without urgent clinician advice if she has:
  • high blood pressure after delivery, pre-eclampsia/eclampsia
  • severe headache, vision changes, chest pain, shortness of breath
  • history of heart-valve disease or fibrosis
  • postpartum psychosis or severe mental-health symptoms
  • use of methylergometrine/ergometrine, certain antipsychotics, or metoclopramide.
It can cause dizziness, low blood pressure, nausea, headache, sleepiness, or rarely mental symptoms. She should rise slowly and avoid driving if dizzy. Guidance lists cabergoline for lactation inhibition after neonatal death, with 1 mg single dose on postpartum day 1 or 0.25 mg twice daily for 2 days when suppressing established milk (MSF cabergoline guideline). UK safety guidance advises avoiding dopamine agonists in hypertension or pre-eclampsia and monitoring blood pressure (UK drug-safety guidance).
For breast discomfort: wear a supportive but not tight bra, use cold packs, and use paracetamol or ibuprofen only if she normally can take them and has no doctor-advised restriction. Avoid breast massage, pumping, or nipple stimulation unless needed briefly for unbearable pressure.
Please contact the maternity/obstetric team today to confirm which regimen is right based on when she delivered and her blood pressure. Seek emergency care now for severe headache, visual disturbance, chest pain, breathlessness, fainting, seizures, fever with a red hot painful breast, or heavy vaginal bleeding.
