Cabergoline 0.5 mg | Cabergoline | Treatment for High Prolactin Levels

Introduction of Cabergoline 0.5 mg 

Cabergoline 0.5 mg Tablet is a prescription medication used primarily to treat hyperprolactinemia, a condition where the body produces abnormally high levels of the hormone prolactin. This condition can lead to irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, galactorrhea (milk production unrelated to childbirth), and sexual dysfunction in both women and men.

Cabergoline belongs to a class of drugs known as dopamine agonists. It works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, which naturally suppresses the secretion of prolactin from the pituitary gland. This leads to normalization of prolactin levels and correction of related hormonal disturbances.

✅ Key Benefits:

• Effectively lowers prolactin levels
  
  

• Restores normal ovulation and menstrual cycles in women
  
  

• Helps improve fertility in both men and women
  
  

• Treats pituitary tumors (prolactinomas)
  
  

• May improve libido and sexual function
  
  

• Can be used in select cases for Parkinson’s disease under specialist care
  
  

✅ How Cabergoline Works:

Cabergoline mimics the action of dopamine, a natural chemical that inhibits prolactin release. By acting on dopamine D2 receptors, Cabergoline reduces prolactin secretion from the anterior pituitary gland. This helps restore hormonal balance, reverse the symptoms of excess prolactin, and shrink prolactin-producing tumors if present.

• Use caution in patients with low blood pressure
  
  

• Inform your doctor of any psychiatric conditions, as it may worsen them
  
  

• Avoid alcohol and medications that affect blood pressure or dopamine levels
  
  

✅ Storage Instructions:
