CABGOLIN 0.5 MG – 4 TABLETS

CABGOLIN 0.5 MG contains Cabergoline, a dopamine agonist that works by inhibiting the production of prolactin, a hormone responsible for breast milk production. High prolactin levels can lead to conditions such as infertility, irregular menstrual cycles, and unwanted lactation. CABGOLIN 0.5 MG helps restore normal prolactin levels, thereby improving hormonal balance and alleviating these symptoms. It is also used in the treatment of prolactinomas, which are benign tumors of the pituitary gland that cause excess prolactin production.

Take CABGOLIN 0.5 MG as prescribed by your doctor, usually once or twice a week.
Swallow the tablet whole with water, preferably with food to reduce stomach discomfort.
