. The effects on the inhibition of lactation of quinestrol (one single tablet of 4 mg) and diethylstilbestrol (5 mg 3 times daily for 5 days) were compared in a controlled clinical trial. During a hospital stay of 5 days breast tenderness was more frequent among the patients who took quinestrol. During the first month at home quinestrol treatment gave less milk secretion and considerably less breast tenderness than diethylstilbestrol. A series of antithrombin III determinations in plasma was too small for definite conclusions to be drawn.
