Who qualifies for prolactin medication
Our EU-licensed doctors assess your individual health profile to determine if medication for high prolactin, such as Cabergoline or Bromocriptine, is suitable. They look for clear indications of hyperprolactinemia and its impact on your sexual function or overall health. Contraindications, existing medical conditions, and other medications you are taking are all carefully considered to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment. The doctor acts as a gatekeeper, ensuring that treatment is medically appropriate for your specific situation.
What prolactin medication actually does (and doesn't do)
Medications for high prolactin, primarily dopamine agonists like Cabergoline and Bromocriptine, work by mimicking dopamine's action in the brain. This helps to reduce the pituitary gland's production of prolactin. By lowering prolactin levels, these medications can restore hormonal balance, which often leads to an improvement in sexual function, including increased libido, better erectile function in men, and regular menstrual cycles in women. It's important to understand that while these medications are highly effective for hyperprolactinemia, they address the symptoms caused by high prolactin, not necessarily the underlying cause if it's a pituitary tumor (prolactinoma) that may require further intervention.

Side effects and when to stop
Like all medications, Cabergoline and Bromocriptine can have side effects. Common side effects may include nausea, headache, dizziness, fatigue, and postural hypotension (a drop in blood pressure when standing up). These usually diminish over time. More serious but rare side effects can occur, and your doctor will discuss these with you. It is crucial to follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment. You should contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe headaches, vision changes, or any unusual or concerning symptoms. Never stop taking your medication without consulting with a healthcare professional first.
