Frequently asked questions about cabergoline

Medically reviewed by:Jessica Swirble, PharmD

Cabergoline is a prescription medication primarily used to treat hyperprolactinemia, a condition characterized by abnormally high levels of prolactin hormone in the blood. It belongs to the class of drugs known as dopamine receptor agonists. Cabergoline stimulates dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps reduce prolactin secretion from the pituitary gland.

Cabergoline is available in its generic form.

This medication can only be obtained with a prescription, meaning you must have a written prescription from a licensed healthcare provider to purchase it.

Cabergoline is primarily prescribed for the treatment of the following conditions related to high prolactin levels and disorders involving excessive prolactin production:

Hyperprolactinemia: Cabergoline helps normalize prolactin levels in individuals with this condition. High prolactin levels can lead to various symptoms, including irregular menstrual periods, infertility, breast milk production in non-pregnant or non-breastfeeding individuals (galactorrhea), and decreased libido.

Prolactinomas: Cabergoline is commonly used to treat prolactin-secreting pituitary gland tumors known as prolactinomas. By reducing prolactin secretion, cabergoline can help shrink these tumors and alleviate associated symptoms.

Cabergoline may also be prescribed off-label for other conditions or by fertility specialists in certain cases.

Cabergoline activates dopamine receptors in the brain, particularly the D2 receptors. This activation inhibits the secretion of prolactin, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland. By reducing prolactin levels, Cabergoline helps normalize menstrual cycles, improve fertility, and alleviate the symptoms associated with hyperprolactinemia and prolactinomas.

The use of cabergoline may lead to adverse side effects.

Mild side effects associated with cabergoline may include:
