Take about the no-option, option. Interesting "fun" fact while reporting this piece. A thread.

The "best" lactation drug Domperidone is not FDA approved. US women use intl pharmacies to buy. But they stopped shipping in pandemic. Only drug that is approved is Reglan & side...

effects include severe depression, anxiety and involuntary muscle spasms & effects may not go away after drug is stopped! Interviewed 3 pediatricians--all said they would never prescribe it b/c of side effects. None would go on the record for me...Others mentioned "politics"

of getting Domperidone approved in U.S.

I wonder who may be lobbying to block a proven & effective lactation drug and making sure the only OPTION women have is no option at all? Give you one guess! 3/4

When we say lack of breastfeeding support is a systemic issue, riddled with commercial interests and back door politics to prevent women from having what they need to feed their babies with their bodies, this is it! 4/4 https://wapo.st/2JVimQa
