“…The literature contains a plethora of case reports linking the post-partum use of bromocriptine, used to suppress lactation, with increased incidence of maternal hypertension, strokes, seizures, myocardial infarction, an increased pro-coagulant profile, resulting in both arterial thrombosis, including intracardiac thrombus formation [80][81][82][83][84][85]. Consequently, the Food and Drug Administration, concerned that the use of bromocriptine to suppress lactation may cause serious adverse events in some patients that outweigh the limited benefits for its use in a temporary condition that can be managed by more conservative treatment, decided to withdraw the indication of this drug in the post-partum setting to suppress lactation.…”

En attendant les résultats de cette étude, la bromocriptine ne peut être généralisée dans cette indication, d'autant plus qu'elle semble exposer à un risque accru d'accident vasculaire cérébral ischémique [22,23]. C'est pour cette raison qu'elle a été retirée du marché aux États-Unis en 1994 comme agent bloqueur de la lactation dans le post-partum.…”

“…Bromocriptine has dopaminergic agonist properties and may have vasopastic effects which can lead to thrombus formation. (Hopp et al, 1996) This medication has been taken off the market as a lactation suppressant because of these reports. The second medicine associated with ACS is ergotamine, which is commonly used to prevent post partum haemorrhage by stimulating uterine contractions.…”
