Extract

The effect of four progestational drugs on the amount of milk yield in a group of lactating Egyptian women was estimated during the first year of lactation. The milk yield was highest in the women given Depo-Provera, followed by those receiving Deladroxone and quingestanol acetate. Only in those women given chlormadinone acetate was the milk yield, on average, lower than in the control group of non-medicated women.
