Clinicians should actively inquire about galactorrhea in adolescents taking SSRIs, as it can occur even with normal prolactin levels.
Reports show that SSRI-induced galactorrhea and hyperprolactinemia, though uncommon, can occur in adolescents. Clinicians should be aware that SSRI-related galactorrhea may occur even when prolactin levels are normal or mildly elevated and should actively inquire about this adverse effect. Further research is needed to clarify prevalence, risk factors, and mechanisms involved.
