Cabgolin Tablets (Cabergoline) | For Hyperprolactinemia, Prolactin Regulation, and Pituitary Disorder Management
Cabgolin Tablet works mainly by lowering the level of prolactin, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It is commonly used to manage high prolactin levels (hyperprolactinemia) and related menstrual, fertility, or milk-production problems.
Product Overview
What is Cabgolin Tablet?
Cabgolin Tablet contains Cabergoline, a medicine that belongs to the dopamine agonist group. It is mainly used to reduce high prolactin levels (hyperprolactinemia) in the body. High prolactin may affect menstrual cycles, fertility, and normal reproductive hormone activity.
How Does Cabgolin Tablet Work?
Cabergoline works in a similar way to dopamine, a natural chemical messenger that helps control prolactin release. It stimulates dopamine receptors in the pituitary gland and reduces the production and release of prolactin.
By lowering excess prolactin, Cabgolin can help restore more balanced hormone activity and improve symptoms related to elevated prolactin levels.
What is Cabgolin Tablet Used For?
Cabgolin Tablet is mainly used for conditions associated with high prolactin levels. It may help manage irregular or absent periods, fertility problems related to elevated prolactin, and excessive milk production in appropriate situations. It may also be used for certain pituitary conditions that cause increased prolactin.
