Reglan

Reglan is a prescription drug that can help women increase their milk supplies.

Metoclopramide (Reglan™, Maxeran™) is an older medication that is known to increase milk production, but it has frequent side effects which have made its use for many nursing mothers unacceptable (fatigue, irritability, depression). A alternative is domperidone (Motilium™), which has many fewer side effects because it does not enter the brain tissue in significant amounts (does not pass the blood-brain barrier).
