Parlodel, bromocriptineChemical Namesbromocriptine Ingredients Active Ingredients: bromocriptine Non-Active Ingredients: colloidal silicon dioxide, lactose, magnesium stearate, povidone, starch. Indications Parlodel is indicated in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, acromegaly, and hyperprolactinemia-associated dysfunctions such as amenorrhea, infertility, hypergonadism, and galactorrhea. How It Works Bromocriptine is a dopamine agonist that counters the action of prolactin, a hormone associated with pituitary tumours, breast milk production, and the refractory period in the male sexual response. Dosage Available tablet sizes: 2.5 mg, Hyperprolactinemic disorders (amenorrhea, infertility, hypergonadism, galactorrhea): The initial dosage of Parlodel in adults is half to one 2.5 mg tablet daily. An additional 2.5 mg tablet may be added to the treatment regimen as tolerated every 2-7 days until an optimal therapeutic response is achieved. The therapeutic dosage ranged from 2.5-15 mg daily in adults studied clinically. Based on limited data in children of age 11 to 15, the initial dose is half to one 2.5 mg tablet daily. Dosing may need to be increased as tolerated until a therapeutic response is achieved. The therapeutic dosage ranged from 2.5-10 mg daily in children with prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas. In order to reduce the likelihood of prolonged exposure to Parlodel should an unsuspected pregnancy occur, a mechanical contraceptive should be used in conjunction with Parlodel therapy until normal ovulatory menstrual cycles have been restored. Contraception may then be discontinued in patients desiring pregnancy. Thereafter, if menstruation does not occur within 3 days of the expected date, Parlodel therapy should be discontinued and a pregnancy test performed. Acromegaly: The initial recommended dosage is one half to one 2.5 mg Parlodel tablet at bedtime (with food) for 3 days. An additional one half to one tablet should be added to the treatment regimen as tolerated every 3-7 days until the patient obtains optimal therapeutic benefit. Patients should be reevaluated monthly and the dosage adjusted based on reductions of growth hormone or clinical response. The usual optimal therapeutic dosage range of Parlodel varies from 20-30 mg/day in most patients. The maximum dosage should not exceed 100 mg/day. Parkinson’s: The initial dose of Parlodel is half of a 2.5 mg tablet twice daily with meals. Assessments are advised at two week intervals during dosage titration to ensure that the lowest dosage producing an optimal therapeutic response is not exceeded. If necessary, the dosage may be increased every 14-28 days by 2.5 mg/day with meals. Should it be advisable to reduce the dosage of levodopa because of adverse reactions, the daily dosage of Parlodel, if increased, should be accomplished gradually in 2.5 mg increments.
