PARLODEL 2.5 MG 30TAB
SKU: 10331019407
Product Overview
PARLODEL 2.5 MG 30 Tablets is a prescription medication primarily used to treat various conditions associated with high levels of prolactin, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland.
It contains bromocriptine mesylate, an ergoline derivative that acts as a dopamine agonist.
This medication helps to normalize prolactin levels, alleviating symptoms such as irregular menstrual periods, infertility, and unwanted breast milk production (galactorrhea).
PARLODEL is also prescribed for the management of Parkinson's disease and acromegaly, a condition caused by excessive growth hormone.
Benefits of Use
Effectively lowers high prolactin levels, restoring hormonal balance.
Helps regulate menstrual cycles and improves fertility in women with hyperprolactinemia.
Reduces galactorrhea (inappropriate lactation) caused by elevated prolactin.
Provides symptomatic relief and improves motor function in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Aids in controlling growth hormone levels in individuals with acromegaly.
How to Use
1. Always take PARLODEL exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not alter the dosage or duration of treatment without medical advice.
2. It is generally recommended to take tablets with food, preferably in the evening, to minimize gastrointestinal upset.
3. Your doctor will likely start you on a low dose and gradually increase it to find the most effective and tolerable dose.
4. For hyperprolactinemia, treatment typically begins with 1.25 mg (half a tablet) at bedtime, with gradual increases.
5. For Parkinson's disease, dosage is highly individualized and may require careful titration over several weeks.
6. Do not stop taking PARLODEL abruptly without consulting your doctor, as this may lead to withdrawal symptoms or worsening of your condition.
