Popis: The effect of monthly injectios of 300 mg Depo-Provera or 150 mg Deladroxone and of daily oral administration of .5 mg chlormadinone acetate or .3 mg quingestanol acetate on lactation was studied in Egyptian women during the 1st year of lactation. Women receiving Depo-Provera had the highest milk yield followed by those taking Deladroxone and quingestanol acetate. The milk yields while taking these hormonal preparations were higher than in untreated controls. However those women taking chlormadinone acetate had lower milk yields than untreated controls. The increased milk yield is probably due to the progestagenic activity and minimal estrogenicity of these drugs.
