Cabergoline Oral Uses
This medication is used to treat a certain hormone problem
(hyperprolactinemia) that causes unusual breast milk production. Cabergoline
belongs to a class of drugs known as dopamine receptor agonists. It works by
stimulating a part of the brain that can decrease the production of the hormone
that causes milk production (prolactin). Decreasing high prolactin levels can
improve the unusual breast milk production.
