The present invention relates to a method of reducing fertility in mammalian females. More specifically the present invention relates to a method of reducing fertility in mammalian females, wherein the method comprises administering to a mammalian female, during a period of at least 1 month, domperidone in an amount which is equivalent to a daily oral dosage of between 0.1 and 10 mg per kg of bodyweight. The present method is particularly effective in lactating females and can advantageously be employed as a family planning method, especially in third world countries, or in cases where alternative contraceptive methods are contraindicated, less effective or simply discarded. |
