Dostinex

$20.90

Manufacturer: Sun Pharma
Substance: Cabergoline (Cabaser)
Package: 0.5mg (4 pills)

Dostinex – cabergoline, a dopaminergic agent, an ergoline derivative. Has a long and pronounced effect of reducing prolactin. Acts due to blockade of prolactin secretion as a result of direct stimulation in lactotrophic cells of the pituitary D2-dopamine receptors. When high doses are used, there is also a central stimulating dopaminergic effect on D2 receptors. This property differs from other prolactin-lowering agents.
Just 3 hours after taking Dostinex in the blood, a decrease in the level of prolactin is observed, which persists for 7 to 28 days in healthy individuals and patients with high prolactin levels. The effect when used in the period of postpartum lactation lasts up to 2-3 weeks. From the digestive tract is absorbed quickly. The maximum plasma concentration is reached in 0,5-4 hours after internal reception of a preparation. The half-life was evaluated by the rate of elimination of cabergoline in the urine – it was 63-68 hours in healthy individuals, 79-115 hours in patients with hyperprolactinaemia. Due to the significant half-life of cabergoline, the equilibrium concentrations of the drug are reached after 28 days. About 41-42% of cabergoline binds plasma proteins.

Efficiency and safety issues were not studied Dostinex in patients with renal or hepatic insufficiency. The main way of eliminating cabergoline is excretion with bile, so for serious violations of liver function the drug is not recommended. It is used with caution in patients with cardiovascular pathology, liver disease, Raynaud’s syndrome, duodenal ulcer or stomach ulcer, kidney failure, mental illness (including past illnesses), and bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract.
If Dostineks is used in a long-term regime, periodic gynecological examination is necessary, which includes histological examination of the endometrium and mucosal cervical canal. Cabergoline, like other ergot remedies, is strictly not allowed to use to prevent lactation in women who have experienced pre-eclampsia or have postpartum hypertension. It was found that with the use of Dostinex to suppress physiological lactation in a dose of 0.5 mg, an increase in the risk of side effects is observed in 2 times. Therefore, it is not recommended for this purpose to use the dosage of the drug more than 0.25 mg.

Before taking the drug to treat hyperprolactinemia, it is necessary to diagnose the pituitary gland to determine the possible development of a tumor of pituitary origin. The pituitary tumor is most often associated with infertility, galactorrhea and amerorrhea. In women with hypogonadism of hyperprolactinemic origin, Dostinex restores fertility and ovulation. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a regular pregnancy test every month, to carry out a pregnancy test (if the drug is used in the presence of amenorrhea). After the restoration of fertility and menstruation to prevent pregnancy, it is necessary to use mechanical contraception. If during pregnancy Dostineksom becomes pregnant, the drug is canceled and observed for the pituitary, since it is possible to resume clinical symptoms of the pituitary tumor.
