Abstract:
The use of bromocriptine, 5 mg per day, markedly improved the severe hypertension (up to 180/120 mmHg) of a patient suffering from polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD). The response was rapid, with decreasing concentrations of serum testosterone and 11-deoxycorticosterone (DOC). Bromocriptine induced further renewal of the ovulatory cycle. Bromocriptine may thus be of considerable value in the treatment hypertensive patients with PCOD.
