What is it used for?
Parlodel is used to treat patients with conditions which result from having high levels of the hormone prolactin in the blood. Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland which is a small gland in the base of the brain. High prolactin levels may occur without any apparent cause, due to the effects of a drug or a disorder in the pituitary gland or surrounding area in the brain.
Parlodel may be used for the following situations:
• In cases where it is considered essential for preventing or holding back milk production in the mother for medical reasons following childbirth, miscarriage or abortion.
• Men and women with high prolactin levels which has caused suppression of the sexual glands (leading to infertility) and/or excess milk production.
• Infertility resulting from high prolactin levels. Parlodel has also been used to treat patients with infertility where prolactin levels are not raised.
• In patients with certain non-malignant tumours which release prolactin, including patients with prolactinomas and acromegaly. Acromegaly is a condition in which there is an excess of growth hormone in the blood which, in childhood can lead to gigantism due to increased skeletal growth and in adulthood can lead to an increase in the lower jaw bone, increase in size of hands and feet and a general coarseness of facial features. In acromegaly, Parlodel reduces the amount of growth hormone in the blood.
Contraindications and cautions:
Tell your doctor before you start using Parlodel if the answer to any of the following questions is yes:
• Do you suspect that you have had an allergic reaction to, or have been upset by any of the ingredients in Parlodel

• Are you pregnant or planning to become pregnant? If so, tell your doctor immediately. If you are taking Parlodel for a fertility disorder caused by high prolactin, Parlodel may result in release of an egg from the female reproductive organs. Women of childbearing age who do not wish to become pregnant should use a barrier method of contraception.
