What is Dostinex (Cabergoline) used for?

This product is manufactured in Turkey.

Dostinex (Cabergoline) is a dopamine receptor agonist prescribed to treat patients with elevated levels of prolactin. The medication operates by reducing the amount of prolactin released from the pituitary gland to prevent symptoms associated with this condition such as halted lactation, disturbed menstrual cycles, or benign tumours affecting the pituitary gland. Your doctor may also prescribe it to treat other unlisted conditions.
