Abstract
The effect of pyridoxine (B6) on galactorrhea and the galactorrhea-amenorrhea syndrome was studied in 22 patients. No consistent change in serum prolactin concentration and no resumption of ovulation were seen during 3 mo. B6 therapy. Inappropriate lactation ceased in 3 of 10 patients with galactorrhea alone, and menses were restored in 2 of 9 patients with galactorrhea-amenorrhea syndrome while on B6 therapy. B6 apparently is not generally effective in the treatment of galactorrhea-amenorrhea syndromes.
