I'm against blatant abuse of babies, children by weirdo men wanting them to suck on their nipples
"Although domperidone is approved in several countries outside the U.S. to treat certain gastric disorders, it is not approved in any country, including the U.S., for enhancing breast milk production in lactating women and is also not approved in the U.S. for any indication."*Domperidone is the drug used to induce lactation in the tiny numbers of transwomen who have used it. It's banned completely in the US because it causes heart arrhythmias and limited in use in the UK as an anti sickness drug. It's totally different from the naturally produced hormones that produce milk in mothers.
These are medical conditions that are being alleviated by necessary drug use. Being a man who can't produce milk is not a medical condition.
It's licensed use was as an anti sickness medication. It's never been licensed in the UK, or elsewhere, for the purpose you describe/claim.I've never claimed it was approved as a drug to make men produce a secretion from their nipples. In the tiny number of medical papers that reference induced lactation in transwomen, domperidone was used as an off label use of an anti sickness medication.
The point is why are an NHS trust promoting male lactation, induced by an off label use of a drug that is widely banned, based on evidence from a tiny number of individual cases, as being the equivalent of mother's breast milk? The scientific evidence is negligible. It's being done because the science has been junked and the welfare of the patient (ie newborns) is being treated as secondary to validating male feelings.
It's irresponsible nonsense and indicates a worrying level of institutional capture.

I was prescribed that. Did nothing for the nausea and I don't remember my bra getting wet either.
Researchers have discovered-took them long enough
That would really get on my tits.
