Caberlin 0.25 Mg Tablets

Caberlin 0.25 mg tablets contain cabergoline, a medicine commonly used to lower high prolactin levels in the blood. High prolactin can contribute to symptoms such as irregular or absent periods, unwanted breast-milk production, infertility, reduced sexual desire and erectile difficulties, depending on the underlying cause.

Key Features

How do Caberlin 0.25 mg tablets work?

• Cabergoline acts in a similar way to dopamine, a natural chemical messenger in the brain. Dopamine normally helps control the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland.
• By stimulating dopamine receptors Caberlin 0.25 mg tablets reduce prolactin production. As prolactin levels return towards the normal range, hormone-related symptoms may improve. The response is usually monitored through blood tests and, in some cases, scans or specialist review.

Usage

Caberlin 0.25 Mg Tablets is used for:

• High prolactin levels caused by certain pituitary conditions or medicines  
• Menstrual irregularities linked with raised prolactin  
• Milk secretion not related to breastfeeding  
• Fertility problems associated with hyperprolactinemia  
• Reduced libido or erectile problems related to raised prolactin  
• Prolactin-secreting pituitary tumors, where appropriate

Dosage
