Answer by DrLact: About Neupro usage in lactation

No information is available on the use of Neupro during breastfeeding, but it suppresses serum prolactin and may interfere with breastfeeding. An alternate drug may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.

Relevant published information in nursing mothers was not found as of the revision date. Neupro lowers serum prolactin.[1][2] The prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
