Treatment for hyperprolactenemia is -

Treatment of hyperprolactinemia depends on the cause of elevated PRL(prolactin) levels. Regardless of the etiology, however, treatment should be aimed at normalizing PRL levels to allete suppressive effects on gonadal function, halt galactorrhea, and preserve bone mineral density. Dopamine agonists are effective for most causes of hyperprolactinemia.Dopamine agonists suppress PRL secretion and synthesis as well as lactotrope cell proliferation. They include bromocriptine(2.5-15mg/day 2-3 times daily), cabergoline(0.25-1mg/week 2 doses/week), quinagolide(0.05-0.15mg/day once daily).
