Product Overview
Dostinex 0.5mg cabergoline tablets 8S — a dopamine agonist for the treatment of hyperprolactinaemia and related hormonal disorders under specialist medical supervision.
Product Description
Dostinex 0.5Mg Tab 8S contains cabergoline, a long-acting dopamine agonist used in the treatment of hyperprolactinaemia — a condition characterised by abnormally high levels of prolactin in the blood. Elevated prolactin levels can cause a range of hormonal disturbances in both men and women, including menstrual irregularities, infertility, galactorrhoea (inappropriate milk production), and in men, reduced libido and sexual dysfunction.
Cabergoline acts by stimulating dopamine D2 receptors in the pituitary gland, thereby inhibiting the secretion of prolactin. Unlike older dopamine agonists, cabergoline has a notably long duration of action, allowing for a twice-weekly dosing schedule, which significantly improves patient convenience and treatment compliance. Dostinex is also indicated for the suppression of physiological lactation after delivery when clinically necessary. Each pack contains 8 tablets at 0.5mg, providing a two-to-four-week supply depending on the prescribed dosage. Regular monitoring of prolactin levels is recommended throughout treatment.

How to Use
Take Dostinex exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The usual starting dose for hyperprolactinaemia is 0.5mg twice per week, taken with food to reduce nausea. The dose may be gradually increased based on prolactin levels and response. Do not stop without medical advice. Available on prescription only.
Ideal For
Patients diagnosed with hyperprolactinaemia, including those with prolactin-secreting adenomas (prolactinomas), experiencing prolactin-related hormonal disruption such as irregular menstruation, infertility, or galactorrhoea.
