What is Cabergoline and what is it used for:
Cabergoline is a medication used to treat high levels of prolactin hormone in the body, a condition called hyperprolactinemia. It works by reducing the amount of prolactin hormone in the body. It is also used to treat symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease, such as stiffness, tremors, and poor muscle control.
How to take Cabergoline:
Cabergoline is taken orally, usually once or twice a week, with or without food. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor, as suddenly stopping Cabergoline can cause a rebound increase in prolactin levels.
Possible side effects of Cabergoline:
Cabergoline may cause some side effects, including:
Nausea or vomiting
Headache
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Fatigue
Constipation or diarrhea
Dry mouth
Abdominal pain or discomfort
Changes in vision
Difficulty sleeping or insomnia
If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Precautions and warnings for Cabergoline:
Before taking Cabergoline, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as liver or kidney disease, heart disease, or circulation problems. Cabergoline may interact with certain medications, including other medications that affect dopamine levels, such as antipsychotics and certain antidepressants.
Cabergoline may cause drowsiness or dizziness, so it is important to avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medication affects you.
Cabergoline is not recommended during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. It is important to use effective contraception while taking Cabergoline to prevent pregnancy, as Cabergoline can cause harm to a developing fetus. It is not known whether Cabergoline passes into breast milk, so it is important to consult your doctor before taking Cabergoline while breastfeeding.
