Will the pituitary tumor go away with bromocriptine?

Taking bromocriptine will not eliminate pituitary tumors. Pituitary tumors are a group of tumors that occur in the anterior and posterior pituitary lobes as well as in the cells of the craniopharyngeal epithelial remnants. Bromocriptine is a peptide ergot alkaloid with dopamine activity, which can act on the hypothalamus to increase the secretion of prolactin inhibitory factor or on the anterior pituitary gland to inhibit the activity of prolactin cells. Therefore, it can reduce the level of prolactin in the blood and achieve the effect of terminating the milk overflow, which does not eliminate the pituitary tumor. Currently, the treatment of pituitary tumors is based on surgery, supplemented by medication and radiotherapy. The surgical approach is to remove the pituitary tumor by the transnasal route or transfrontal. If the pituitary tumor is small and benign, the better treatment is medication. Medication is a more conservative treatment, but medication can only reduce the size of the tumor, not cure it. After the treatment of pituitary tumor, you need to pay attention to regular review, if you find that there is a recurrence or aggravation, you need to intervene in time.
