How it Works:
Dostinex works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the pituitary gland, which inhibits the release of prolactin. This can help to normalize hormone levels and alleviate symptoms associated with high prolactin levels.
Uses:
- Hyperprolactinemia: Dostinex is used to treat hyperprolactinemia, a condition characterized by excessive prolactin production.
- Parkinson’s Disease: Dostinex may be used as an adjunct therapy for Parkinson’s disease.
- Other Conditions: Dostinex may also be used to treat other conditions, such as acromegaly.
Important Considerations:
- Side Effects: Common side effects of Dostinex include nausea, vomiting, headache, and dizziness. More serious side effects, such as heart problems and lung fibrosis, are possible but rare.
- Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, as they may interact with Dostinex.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Dostinex is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
