[The results of using parlodel in hyperprolactinemia]

The authors presented the results of catamnestic investigation of 133 women treated with bromocriptine for various types of hyperprolactinemic hypogonadism. A high effectiveness and safety of bromocriptine therapy were observed. Methods of prevention of probable complications were proposed. The authors evaluated the health status of children born to patients treated with bromocriptine. The most prolonged remissions were observed in patients with macroprolactinemia who gave birth to children owing to bromocriptine therapy. Most patients develop a relapse of the disease after therapy discontinuation and therefore need repeated therapeutic courses. In the authors' opinion, prolonged bromocriptine therapy is a serious alternative to surgery and radiotherapy.
