Cabergoline
Cabergoline is a dopamine agonist that lowers prolactin. The pharmacy dispenses it as a 0. 5mg tablet. It is prescribed only when labs show prolactin is elevated, and a licensed provider confirms the result and rules out other causes first.
Pharmacy shipping: $20 added once per medication order.
About this treatment
Bring elevated prolactin back into focus.
Cabergoline lowers prolactin when an elevated level needs treatment. Bringing this hormone under control can help restore normal reproductive hormone function in appropriate patients. Your lab result, symptoms and the cause of the elevation guide the conversation.
Turn down excess prolactin signaling
Cabergoline activates dopamine receptors on prolactin-producing cells in the pituitary gland. This reduces prolactin release. In people whose prolactin is high enough to disrupt normal hormone signaling, treatment can address that underlying interference. A blood test is important, but its result needs to be interpreted alongside symptoms and the reason the level is elevated.
Connect the number with your symptoms
Depending on the situation, excess prolactin may be associated with menstrual changes, unexpected milk production or impaired reproductive function. A major clinical trial in women with hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea found that cabergoline lowered prolactin and helped restore ovulatory cycles. Your own treatment goals depend on your diagnosis, reproductive plans and any pituitary findings.
Follow the hormone response and heart health
Repeat prolactin testing helps assess the response. Ask how heart-valve monitoring and other follow-up apply to you, and report persistent cough, breathlessness or swelling. Also mention dizziness when standing and any new compulsive gambling, shopping or sexual urges, which can occur with dopamine agonists. Bring all medicines and pregnancy plans to the review before changes are made.
Research and product information
The benefit is tied to a diagnosed hyperprolactinemic disorder, rather than a general hormone boost. Current labeling calls for a heart-valve evaluation, including an echocardiogram, before treatment and continued monitoring. Pregnancy, blood pressure, valve disease and fibrotic conditions affect suitability.
