question from a user

You replied to my previous post with: “That prolactin level is more than just a little high. Low T in the setting of high prolactin raises concern for a prolactinoma (a usually benign neoplasm of the pituitary gland). Typically an MRI would be necessary to evaluate this potential diagnosis further. Follow-up with your doctor for further evaluation.” Positive on the prolactinoma, I’ve Been taking cabergoline .5mg twice weekly. Dropped my prolactine from nearly 1,200 to 250range. Is there a course that can be taken with these current levels? My endocrinologist want to wait until August before ordering more labs. Thoughts?

I’m glad you were able to get properly diagnosed.

Cabergoline is standard of care to lower prolactin. It’s good to see that your levels dropped significantly with such a mild dose. Typically cabergoline is increased to 1mg twice/week after a month. I would imagine that increase will get your prolactin back to normal levels.
