Besides this, it can also be used to treat other conditions caused by hormonal disruption that can lead to the production of high levels of prolactin. This includes lack of periods, infrequent and very light menstruation, periods when there is no ovulation, and the secretion of milk from your breast without breastfeeding, even in conditions where high prolactin levels are caused by unknown causes (idiopathic hyperprolactinemia) or pituitary gland tumours in both men and women. It contains cabergoline, which decreases the amount of prolactin in the body. In some cases, you may experience side effects such as blurred vision, drowsiness, constipation, vomiting, dizziness, headache, and fatigue.
