Does bromocriptine treat hyperprolactinemia

Bromocriptine is more effective in the treatment of hyperprolactinemia and is listed as the first-line drug for the treatment of hyperprolactinemia. However, there is one adverse effect, namely a more pronounced gastrointestinal reaction, so doctors usually advise patients to take it during or after meals to alleviate the symptoms in the digestive tract. During the patient’s initial dosing, the doctor will give the medication according to the lowest effective dose for each patient. Once the prolactin level stabilizes, the dose is gradually adjusted downward, aiming to use the lowest dose to maintain a more stable prolactin level.
