brotin tablet and prolactin levels
Hi. My prolactin is 30.52 ng/ml. As per my laboratory reports, a normal prolactin range is 3.8 ng/ml to 23 ng/ml. My doctor has advised me to take the brotin 2.5 mg tab twice a day. Should I continue? ## My prolactin level is also high and I took cabergoline for eight weeks and felt much better with the medicine. Now that I stopped the medicine, I again feel pain in my breasts and headache. Take the medicines regularly and also go for the test after every two or three months. ## Hi.

SIDE EFFECTS CONTINUE AFTER STOPPING DRUG
I was on carbergoline 0.25 twice weekly for one month and had terrible hot flashes . Now off of it for almost 2 weeks and the flashes continue. any one know why? ## Generally, a month is the length of time it takes for a medication to reach its full efficacy level in the body and, once that happens, it can take several weeks for it to fully process out and for any side effects to completely wear off. Learn more Cabergoline details here. However, you might want to check with your doctor, just to be sure it's a side effect of the medication and not caused by something else. Are there any other questions or comments?
