Description:
Cabergoline is a dopamine agonist designed to reduce prolactin. In medical circles it is commonly used to combat prolactinomas, a benign tumor of the pituitary gland that may cause an excess production of prolactin. It is also used by athletes who supplement with anabolic steroids that may increase prolactin levels
Cabergoline, most commonly sold under the brand name Dostinex, is not a new drug as it was first developed in 1981 by the Italian drug manufacture Farmitalia-Carlo Erba Spa. The drug was later acquired by Pharmacia and then found its resting place with Pfizer in 2002.
Cabergoline Functions and Traits:
As a dopamine agonist, Cabergoline directly correlates with the long acting D2 receptor thereby inhibiting the secretion of prolactin in the body and in turn lowering serum prolactin levels. As a dopamine agnonist, Cabergoline is used to treat Parkinson's disease, hyperprolactinaemia (abnormally high levels of prolactin in the blood), Cushing's disease and as mentioned prolactinomas.
Cabergoline's direct function (specifics) is in that it inhibits prolactin secretion in the pituitary's lactotroph cells. It really is a very simple drug and what's simpler or perhaps interesting is that the simple medication was discovered almost accidently during experiments with ergot alkaloids.
