Parlodel 2.5mg x 30 Tablets

0

Parlodel tablets contain the active ingredient bromocriptine, which belongs to a group of medicines
called dopamine agonists and prolactin inhibitors.

Parlodel tablets are used for:

  • Treatment of prolactinomas (a non-cancerous tumour of the pituitary gland in the brain).
  •  Co-treatment of acromegaly with surgery or radiotherapy. Acromegaly is abnormal growth
    caused by high levels of growth hormone.
  • Treatment of hyperprolactinaemia (abnormally high level of prolactin in the blood) in men
    with hypogonadism (a low sperm count, lack of sex drive and inability to achieve an erection)
    and/or galactorrhoea (unexplained milk secretion).
  • Treatment of hyperprolactinaemia (abnormally high level of prolactin in the blood) in women
    with hypogonadism (infrequent periods, hot flushes, vaginal dryness), irregular periods,
    infertility and/or galactorrhoea (unexplained milk secretion).
  • To prevent lactation (milk production) for medical reasons.
  • Stopping breast milk production for medical reasons only, and when you and your doctor have
    decided that it is necessary. Bromocriptine should not be routinely used to stop breast milk
    production. It should also not be used to relieve symptoms of painful breast engorgement after
    giving birth if these can be adequately treated with non-medical means (such as firm breast
    support, ice application) and or a painkiller.

***Prescription medicine

Parlodel (Bromocriptine) is used to treat symptoms of hyperprolactinemia (high levels of a natural substance called prolactin in the body) including lack of menstrual periods, discharge from the nipples, infertility (difficulty becoming pregnant) and hypogonadism (low levels of certain natural substances needed for normal development and sexual function). Bromocriptine (Parlodel) may be used to treat hyperprolactinemia caused by certain types of tumors that produce prolactin, and may shrink these tumors.
