Cabgolin (Cabergoline): Tablet for Hormone Control

Cabgolin Tablet contains Cabergoline, a dopamine receptor agonist used to lower elevated prolactin hormone levels in the blood. High prolactin (hyperprolactinemia) can lead to menstrual disturbances, infertility, and abnormal breast milk production. Cabgolin is also used to suppress lactation in women after stillbirth, abortion, or miscarriage.

Uses of Cabgolin Tablet:

• Treatment of high levels of prolactin (hyperprolactinemia)
• Suppression of breast milk production in post-abortion, miscarriage, or stillbirth

How Cabgolin Tablet Works:

Cabgolin Tablet acts by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, which in turn inhibits the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland. This helps stop the production of breast milk and treats hormonal imbalances related to high prolactin levels.
