Cabgolin 0.5 mg (Cabergoline)
Cabgolin 0.5 mg tablets contain the active ingredient Cabergoline, a dopaminergic ergoline derivative with long lasting prolactin-lowering activity. It prevents lactation by decreasing the level of a hormone known as prolactin. The medicine is also used to reduce abnormal quantities of the hormone prolactin in the blood. High level of prolactin in women can cause symptoms such as missing periods, unwanted breast milk production, and can cause problems conceiving a baby. High levels of prolactin in men can cause problems such as enlarged breast and decreased sexual desire. The medicine blocks the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland. Cabgolin is frequently used as the first-line management of prolactinomas due to higher affinity for D2 receptor sites.
