About Caberfem 0.5mg Tablet

the vname contains the active ingredient of cabergoline. This medicine belongs to a class of drugs called 'dopamine agonists.' Dopamine is naturally formed in the body and helps to send signals to the brain, which treats hyperprolactinemia (high levels of prolactin, a natural substance that helps breast development and milk production in women). CABERGOLINE helps stop breast milk production soon after stillbirth, abortion, miscarriage, or even after delivery if you do not want to breastfeed your baby once you have started.

Besides this, CABERGOLINE can also be used to treat other conditions caused by hormonal disruption that can lead to the production of high levels of prolactin. This includes lack of periods, infrequent and very light menstruation, periods when there is no ovulation, and without breast-feeding, the secretion of milk from your breast. Even in conditions where high prolactin levels are caused by unknown causes (idiopathic hyperprolactinemia) or pituitary gland tumors in both men and women.
