What is Cabergoline?

Cabergoline, sold under the brand name Cabaser, is a dopamine agonist used primarily to treat disorders associated with high levels of the hormone prolactin. It is often prescribed for conditions such as prolactinomas (prolactin-secreting tumors) and can also be used to manage symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Additionally, it is popular among bodybuilders for its ability to manage prolactin levels during anabolic steroid cycles.

Mechanism of Action

Cabergoline works by binding to dopamine receptors in the pituitary gland, which inhibits the secretion of prolactin. This action helps normalize prolactin levels, alleviating symptoms associated with hyperprolactinemia, such as infertility, sexual dysfunction, and bone loss.
