Dom Bromocriptine How to Take

Bromocriptine belongs to a group of medications called ergot alkaloids. It is used to treat Parkinson's Disease and conditions caused by too much of the hormone, prolactin. These conditions include some types of menstrual problems, increased milk production, female infertility, male development problems, and small tumours called adenomas.

For Parkinson's disease, bromocriptine works by behaving like dopamine, a chemical in the brain, which is involved in producing the symptoms of this disease. Bromocriptine may be used alone or with levodopa to reduce symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

For conditions associated with too much prolactin, bromocriptine works by blocking the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland in the brain.

Bromocriptine is used to treat acromegaly (overproduction of growth hormone causing unusual enlargement of the hands, jaw, and feet) by decreasing the production of growth hormone.

Your doctor may have suggested Dom Bromocriptine for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. As well, some forms of Dom Bromocriptine may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Dom Bromocriptine, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Dom Bromocriptine without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Dom Bromocriptine to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Dom Bromocriptine if their doctor has not prescribed it.

There may be an interaction between bromocriptine and any of the following:

If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:

  • stop taking one of the medications,
  • change one of the medications to another,

An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.

Medications other than those listed above may interact with Dom Bromocriptine. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take.

Dom Bromocriptine Warnings

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Dom Bromocriptine.

Drowsiness/reduced alertness: Dom Bromocriptine may cause dizziness and drowsiness or suddenly falling asleep. Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform other potentially hazardous tasks until you have determined how Dom Bromocriptine affects you.

Fertility: Bromocriptine may reverse infertility for women by restoring normal menstrual cycles and ovulation. Women who do not wish to get pregnant should use a reliable method of birth control.

Heart disease: Bromocriptine can cause dramatic changes in blood pressure, affecting heart conditions. As well, because it is known to cause a significant drop in blood pressure when treatment is started, it is important to rise from lying or sitting positions slowly, until your blood pressure increases to the point where severe dizziness is not a problem.

If you have a history of heart attack, heart disease or are taking medication for blood pressure or heart conditions, discuss with your doctor how Dom Bromocriptine may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Dom Bromocriptine, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Kidney function: If you have reduced kidney function or severe Kidney Disease, discuss with your doctor how Dom Bromocriptine may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Dom Bromocriptine, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Liver function: The liver helps to remove bromocriptine from the body. If you have reduced liver function or severe liver disease, discuss with your doctor how Dom Bromocriptine may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Dom Bromocriptine, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Low Blood Pressure: Bromocriptine may cause low blood pressure, particularly during the first days of treatment. If you have low blood pressure or are taking medication to control high blood pressure, discuss with your doctor how Dom Bromocriptine may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Dom Bromocriptine, and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Lung problems: Long-term treatment (6 to 36 months) with bromocriptine in doses ranging from 20 mg to 100 mg daily has been associated with lung problems including Pulmonary Fibrosis (a condition where the air sacs of the lungs are replaced by scar tissue, making the lungs stiff). If you experience unusual back pain, swelling of the lower legs or feet, or difficulty breathing, contact your doctor immediately.

Mental health: The use of high doses of bromocriptine, such as those used for Parkinson's disease, may be associated with mental confusion and mental disturbances. When bromocriptine is combined with levodopa, side effects may increase including auditory or visual hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that are not there). These effects usually disappear with lower bromocriptine doses.

Pregnancy: Bromocriptine may be taken by women who are pregnant if the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking Dom Bromocriptine, contact your doctor immediately.

Breast-feeding: Bromocriptine reduces the production of breast milk. The use of bromocriptine after childbirth is more likely to cause serious blood pressure changes and heart problems, as well as seizure. For these reasons, it should not be taken by women who are breast-feeding.
