Abstract
Prostaglandin E2 was given orally to twenty puerperal women during the fourth and the fifth·day after delivery. The milk secretion disappeared in all cases within 48 hours from the·beginning of treatment and the prolactin plasma levels showed a significant decrease (P < 0.001) already during the Prostaglandin E2 administration. The results can be explained by a Prostaglandin E2 and prolatin decrease inhibitory effect on breast metabolism.
