Product Introduction

Caberlact 0.5mg Tablet contains Cabergoline as its active ingredient. It is primarily used to treat hyperprolactinaemia, a condition in which prolactin hormone levels are excessively elevated in the blood. This imbalance can result in irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, galactorrhoea (unwanted breast milk production), and decreased libido. Cabergoline works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain to reduce prolactin levels and address these symptoms.

In addition to managing prolactin-related conditions, Cabergoline is also used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, where it helps restore dopamine function in the brain, improving motor control and reducing symptoms such as tremors and stiffness. Caberlact 0.5mg Tablet is effective for long-term management of both conditions and helps improve quality of life for patients affected by these disorders.

Uses

Hyperprolactinemia : To lower prolactin levels and relieve symptoms such as galactorrhea, amenorrhea, and infertility. Parkinson’s Disease : Used as a dopamine agonist to improve motor symptoms, such as rigidity and tremors.

How it works

Caberlact 0.5mg Tablet works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, which suppresses the secretion of prolactin from the pituitary gland. By lowering prolactin levels, it helps in managing symptoms like irregular periods, infertility, and unwanted breast milk production. Additionally, for those with Parkinson’s disease, Cabergoline acts to mimic the effects of dopamine, thereby improving motor control and reducing the severity of symptoms like tremors, stiffness, and bradykinesia (slowness of movement). Regular use can significantly improve the quality of life for those with these conditions.

How to Use

Caberlact 0.5mg Tablet should be consumed orally as per the doctor’s prescribed dosage. It can be taken with or without food. It is generally taken once or twice a week depending on the condition being treated. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water, without chewing or crushing it. Your doctor will monitor prolactin levels and adjust the dosage accordingly. Do not self-adjust your dosage without medical supervision.

Side Effects

Expert Tips

While taking Caberlact 0.5mg Tablet, it is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor prolactin levels and any potential side effects.
