Failure of pyridoxine to suppress raised serum prolactin levels . Pyridoxine has been reported as having an antilactogenic effect , presumably by suppressing prolactin secretion . We have measured serum prolactin levels during pyridoxine administration in two groups of hyperprolactinaemic subjects . In normal postpartum women , the postdelivery fall in serum prolactin levels did not differ significantly in treated and control subjects . In patients with chlorpromazine-induced hyperprolactinaemia and galactorrhoea , pyridoxine did not reduce the elevated levels . In neither group was milk production suppressed .
