🧬 Introduction – What is Cabgolin 0.25mg (Cabergoline)?

Cabgolin 0.25mg contains Cabergoline, a potent dopamine D2 receptor agonist, prescribed mainly to treat hyperprolactinemia — a condition where the body produces excess prolactin hormone, often leading to menstrual disturbances, infertility, or milk secretion in non-lactating women.

Manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, one of India’s largest and most reputable pharmaceutical companies, Cabgolin is a widely trusted and cost-effective alternative to branded equivalents like Dostinex by Pfizer.

Cabergoline works by mimicking dopamine, the brain chemical that naturally inhibits prolactin production. This allows normalization of hormone levels, restoration of ovulation, improved fertility, and reduction of tumor size in prolactinomas. It’s also used off-label in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and other dopamine-related disorders due to its strong dopaminergic action.

With fewer gastrointestinal side effects and a longer half-life compared to bromocriptine, Cabgolin has become a first-line agent in managing prolactin disorders in both men and women.
