Caberlee 0.5 mg Tablet

Caberlee 0.5 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains cabergoline 0.5 mg in each tablet. Cabergoline is a dopamine agonist medicine used in infertility therapy, especially when elevated prolactin levels are affecting ovulation or fertility. This Caberlee 0.5 mg Tablet is taken by mouth and may help lower prolactin so normal reproductive hormone function can return. It is the 0.5 mg tablet strength, so it is best used only when a clinician has decided this dose is appropriate.

How it works: Cabergoline works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps turn down prolactin release from the pituitary gland. With lower prolactin, menstrual cycles and ovulation may improve in people taking this tablet for infertility-related hormone problems.

Caberlee 0.5 mg Tablet is a higher tablet strength that allows a doctor to give a full 0.5 mg dose in one tablet instead of combining smaller tablets. That can be helpful when a specific 0.5 mg dose is needed for prolactin-related infertility treatment, but it is not meant to be self-started because cabergoline dosing is individualized. Your doctor may choose this strength when a lower amount is not enough or when a simpler dosing schedule is preferred.

• Hyperprolactinemia
• Prolactin-related infertility
• Irregular or absent ovulation due to high prolactin
• Menstrual disruption caused by excess prolactin

• Swallow the Caberlee 0.5 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew it unless your prescriber tells you to.
• Take it exactly on the day(s) and at the interval your doctor prescribes, since cabergoline is not taken on a fixed daily schedule for many patients.
• Taking this tablet with food or a light snack may reduce nausea.
• Because dizziness can occur, many people take the first dose at bedtime or when they can rest afterward, if their doctor agrees.
• Stand up slowly after taking Caberlee 0.5 mg Tablet, especially after the first dose.
• Do not change the dose or stop the tablet on your own, even if you feel better.

Each Caberlee 0.5 mg Tablet provides 0.5 mg of cabergoline per tablet. The dose may be taken once or twice weekly, or on another schedule your doctor chooses for your condition; the maximum daily amount should only be set by the prescriber, since cabergoline dosing is individualized and depends on response and tolerability. This strength is not a self-initiated starting dose for every patient, and your doctor will decide how often you should take it.

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