I want to consult an ENDOCRINOLOGIST
I was diagnosed with PCOS IN january(5 months back) later on lab tests it was found that prolactin levels was 180.. For which CONTRAST BRAIN MRI was done.it was found that it was pituitary micro adenoma of 8*7*7 mm in size ..
I am on CABERGOLINE 0.5mg since then.
Now 15 days back when I got my prolactin level checked again it is 13 now.
I even consulted an opthalmologist after that, there has been no problem with the vision .
Since the prolactin levels have reduced (come to normal)
I want to know if i have to reduce the dose of CABERGOLINE now Continue the same dose until the microadenoma resolves...?

Hello
U have hyperprolactinemia due to pituitary adenoma.
Decreased prolactin values,no visual field effects shows u r showing good response to cabgolinne.
But u have to use this till ur adenoma shrinks..
Many trials have shown that development of recurrence less if drug used for at least 12 months.
So continue dose for few more months.
Can decrease dose based on it clinical picture.
Contact doctor for this.
