Description
Cabergoline is a medication typically prescribed in the form of 0.5mg tablets, with each tablet containing 0.5 milligrams of the active ingredient cabergoline. It is commonly available in packs of 10 tablets. Cabergoline belongs to a class of medications known as dopamine agonists, which work by mimicking the action of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain.
This medication is primarily used to treat medical conditions such as hyperprolactinemia, a condition characterized by elevated levels of prolactin hormone in the blood, which can lead to symptoms such as irregular menstrual periods, infertility, and breast milk production in men and women who are not breastfeeding.
Additionally, Cabergoline is sometimes prescribed off-label to treat conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and restless legs syndrome.
As with any medication, it’s essential to take Cabergoline exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional, and to follow any dosage instructions provided. It’s also important to be aware of potential side effects and to report any unusual symptoms to a healthcare provider promptly.
