Inhibition de la lactation dans le post-partum : bromocriptine versus cabergoline

A single dose of cabergoline is at least as effective as bromocriptine 2.5 mg twice daily for 21 days in preventing puerperal lactation. Because of the considerably lower rate of adverse events and a higher rate of success, cabergoline should be the drug of choice for lactation inhibition. Nevertheless, dopamine agonists should be prescribing with great care, because of possible dangerous events.
