Caberlact 0.5 mg Tablet

Caberlact 0.5 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 0.5 mg of cabergoline in each tablet. Cabergoline is a dopamine agonist used to lower elevated prolactin levels and is commonly prescribed for prolactin-related fertility problems such as infertility, irregular periods, and galactorrhea. Caberlact 0.5 mg Tablet is taken by mouth as a standard tablet made by Neon Laboratories.

How it works: Cabergoline works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, which tells the pituitary gland to make less prolactin. In tablet form, Caberlact 0.5 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract to help bring prolactin levels down over time.

Caberlact 0.5 mg Tablet is a higher-strength tablet, so it is generally used when a doctor has confirmed that a smaller amount is appropriate to start or maintain treatment. Because each tablet already contains 0.5 mg cabergoline, it may be chosen when a prescriber wants flexible, split-week dosing rather than a daily low-dose schedule.

• Hyperprolactinemia
• Prolactin-related infertility
• Irregular menstrual periods caused by high prolactin
• Galactorrhea (milk discharge not related to breastfeeding)
• Pituitary prolactin-secreting disorders, when prescribed by a doctor

• Swallow Caberlact 0.5 mg Tablet whole with water.
• Take it exactly on the days and at the times your doctor prescribes; many patients take cabergoline with food or at bedtime to reduce nausea and dizziness.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your prescriber tells you to do so.
• Stand up slowly after taking Caberlact 0.5 mg Tablet, especially when you first start treatment.
• If your dose is scheduled once or twice weekly, keep the same dosing days each week.
• Do not take extra tablets to make up for a missed dose unless your prescriber instructs you to do so.

Each Caberlact 0.5 mg Tablet provides 0.5 mg of cabergoline per tablet. The dose is usually taken once or twice weekly, not as a daily medicine, and the exact amount and maximum weekly dose are decided by the prescriber based on prolactin levels, response, and tolerability.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
