Hello, to stop breastfeeding, I took Dostinex half a cp 2 times a day for 2 days but I have swollen and painful breasts with milk leaks, the doctor said to take it for another 2 days without disconnecting. I read that you only take for two days, is it possible?

Dostinex is usually used at a dose of 0.25 mg (half a tablet) every 12 hours for two days to stop ongoing lactation and suppress milk production. This is a standard and effective dosage that should reduce symptoms associated with lactation.
If the doctor has recommended continuation of treatment for another two days, this may be due to an individual assessment of the clinical situation and the need for additional inhibition of lactation, especially when complaints such as swelling and soreness of the breasts appear. It is worth following the doctor's recommendations strictly and not exceeding the dosage without consultation, because cabergoline has a strong effect on prolactin levels and can cause side effects.
