Is There A Prescription To Stop Breast From Lactating?

Is there a prescription to stop breast from lactating? I nursed for 8 years (2 children) my youngest is 12. My breast never stopped leaking but lately it has become much more annoying as they swell and leak still. I know for a fact I'm not pregnant; had tubes tied and hysterectomy over the years
