Does high prolactin affect energy levels?

Research shows that elevated prolactin is linked to feeling excessively tired during the day, but this is not observed in individuals with typical prolactin levels.

Can I get pregnant with high prolactin?

Elevated prolactin levels can stop the release of FSH, the hormone that starts ovulation. When prolactin levels are high, ovulation might be blocked, and pregnancy may not occur. That's why nursing women with high prolactin levels often don't get pregnant.

Can hyperprolactinemia cause male infertility?

Hyperprolactinemia may lead to male infertility as it can reduce or stop sperm production, lower testosterone levels, cause erectile dysfunction, and decrease sex drive.

Dostinex/Cabaser/Cabotrim (generic name: cabergoline) can lower the amount of prolactin made in the body. It treats high prolactin levels (hyperprolactinemia) and prevents or stops breast milk production. It belongs to a group of medicines called dopamine receptor agonists. Cabergoline helps with high prolactin levels, which can lead to issues like irregular periods, trouble getting pregnant, or problems with erections.

Dosage

The doctor will determine the dosage and treatment plan. The typical doses are as follows:

To prevent milk production after childbirth: 1 mg (two 0.5 mg tablets) on the first day.
To halt milk secretion during breastfeeding: 0.25 mg (half of a Dostinex 0.5 mg tablet) every 12 hours for two days.
To lower prolactin levels in other conditions: 0.5 mg weekly, either as a single dose or split into two doses. The dose can be increased gradually until fully effective (up to 2 mg weekly).

For better tolerance, a doctor may suggest taking Dostinex with or after a meal to minimize feelings of nausea or vomiting. Avoiding alcohol is recommended as it can heighten the risk of dizziness. Do not chew the tablet, but it may be split. When starting the medication, it is advised to sit, stand, or lie down slowly due to possible sudden declines in blood pressure that can cause dizziness.

Caution

Patients need to be checked often for impulse control disorders. Patients and caregivers should know that behavior changes like gambling, increased sex drive, overspending, binge eating, and compulsive eating have been observed in patients taking dopamine agonists like Dostinex. If these symptoms appear, the doctor may slowly reduce the dose or stop the medicine entirely.

Storage

Store below 25°C/77°F. The bottle’s cap has drying beads. Do not remove the beads from the cap or put the tablets in a different container. Keep the bottle sealed tightly to prevent moisture. Remember to use it within 30 days of opening.

FAQ

How long can you stay on Cabergoline?

Cabergoline is typically discontinued once prolactin levels have been normal for six months. If symptoms of excessive prolactin reappear, the medication may be prescribed again.

Does Dostinex make you sleepy?

Cabergoline has been linked to sudden sleep onset. Medications that work like dopamine, called agonists, can also cause unexpected episodes of falling asleep suddenly.

How long until cabergoline starts working?

Research shows that Dostinex, given as a single pill (0.3-1.5 mg), caused a noticeable drop in prolactin levels. This change happens quickly (within three hours) and lasts up to 28 days in healthy people and patients with high prolactin and up to 21 days in new mothers. The amount of prolactin lowered depends on the dose.
