Cabergoline is a dopamine receptor agonist derived from ergot alkaloids. It is used to inhibit prolactin secretion, making it effective for treating hyperprolactinemia, prolactinomas, and Parkinson’s disease. It is a long-acting dopamine D₂ receptor agonist that suppresses prolactin production by binding to dopaminergic receptors in the pituitary gland. Cabergoline contains NLT 98.0% and NMT 102.0% of cabergoline, calculated on the anhydrous basis for the crystalline form and on the anhydrous and solvent-free basis for the amorphous form. 1-Ethyl-3-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-[[(6aR,9R,10aR)-7-(prop-2-enyl)-4,6,6a,7,8,9,10,10a-octahydroindolo[4,3-fg]quinolin-9-yl]carbonyl]urea, corresponds to Cabergoline and 1-[(6-Allylergolin-8β-yl)-carbonyl]-1-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-3-ethylurea is an alternative representation of its chemical structure.

Store at 2–8°C (36–46°F)
Keep in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture.
Store in tightly sealed, light-resistant containers.
Available in 1 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg tablet forms, packaged in blister packs or HDPE bottles.
It is used to treat conditions caused by high prolactin levels, such as menstrual problems, infertility, and prolactinomas.
Cabergoline is a dopamine agonist that mimics dopamine and reduces prolactin secretion in the pituitary gland.
Common side effects include nausea, headache, dizziness, and fatigue.
Consult a healthcare provider, as it should only be used during pregnancy if medically necessary.
The duration varies per patient, follow your doctor’s instructions for length of use.
It is usually taken twice weekly with or without food, as directed by a doctor.
