Drug Indications

It is indicated for the treatment of hyperprolactinemic disorders, either idiopathic or due to pituitary adenomas. It is used to stop breast milk production (lactation) soon after childbirth, stillbirth, abortion or miscarriage. It can also be used to treat other conditions caused by hormonal disturbance which can result in high levels of prolactin being produced. This includes high levels of prolactin caused by tumours of the pituitary gland in both men and women.


Dosage Administration

The recommended dosage of Cabergoline Tablet for initiation of therapy is 0.25 mg twice a week. Dosage may be increased by 0.25 mg twice weekly up to a dosage of 1 mg twice a week according to the patient’s serum prolactin level. Before initiating treatment, cardiovascular evaluation should be performed and echocardiography should be considered to assess for valvular disease.

Dosage increases should not occur more rapidly than every 4 weeks. If the patient does not respond adequately, and no additional benefit is observed with higher doses, the lowest dose that achieved maximal response should be used and other therapeutic approaches considered. Patients receiving long term treatment with Cabergoline should undergo periodic assessment of their cardiac status and echocardiography should be considered.

After a normal serum prolactin level has been maintained for 6 months, Cabergoline may be discontinued, with periodic monitoring of the serum prolactin level to determine whether or when treatment with Cabergoline should be reinstituted.

To prevent milk production (lactation): 1 mg (two 0.5 mg tablets) on the first day after delivery.

To stop lactation once after start of breastfeeding: 0.25 mg (one half of Cabergoline 0.5 mg table) every 12 hours for two days. To reduce prolactin levels in other conditions: Initially, 0.25 mg twice a week. Dose may be increased up to maximum dose of 4.5 mg or until have responded fully to treatment.

  • Uncontrolled hypertension or known hypersensitivity

Use in Special Populations

Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness of Cabergoline in pediatric patients have not been established.

Geriatric Use: In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.

Use in patients with hepatic impairment: Since cabergoline is extensively metabolized by the liver, caution should be used, and careful monitoring exercised, when administering Cabergoline to patients with hepatic impairment.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Pregnancy category B. It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk.
