Abstract
Summary: The influence of bromocriptine on carbohydrate tolerance in the puerperium was examined and its effects compared with those of an oestrogenic compound. Sixteen patients were studied in each group. The controls consisted of 16 women who were breast‐feeding. Compared with the controls, no significant difference was found in the oral glucose tolerance test in patients who had oestrogen, but blood glucose values in women receiving bromocriptine were significantly lower. Inhibition of lactation with bromocriptine may obscure abnormal glucose tolerance.Keywords
