Regardless of the cause of elevated prolactin levels, patients are recommended to take bromocriptine orally at night to reduce the chance of side effects. Bromocriptine is recommended to be taken orally at night to reduce the chance of side effects. After about one month of oral administration, the patient’s high prolactin level will start to decrease significantly upon review. When the prolactin level drops to normal, bromocriptine should not be stopped immediately, but should be maintained at a lower dose. After at least six months of maintenance treatment, if the prolactin level is still normal, the patient can consider stopping the bromocriptine medication, and the patient should still review the prolactin level every 2-3 months after stopping the medication.
