Caberlin 0.5 mg Tablet

Caberlin 0.5 mg Tablet contains 0.5 mg of cabergoline in each tablet. Cabergoline is a dopamine agonist used to lower high prolactin levels, a hormone imbalance that can affect fertility and menstrual cycles. Caberlin 0.5 mg Tablet may be prescribed for prolactin-related infertility, irregular periods, or symptoms caused by excess prolactin such as unwanted breast milk production.

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

Caberlin 0.5 mg Tablet is a standard tablet strength that fits typical cabergoline dosing, which is often started low and adjusted by a doctor based on prolactin levels and response. Because each tablet already contains 0.5 mg, it is best suited for patients whose prescribed dose matches or is built from this strength, rather than for people who need a smaller starting amount or a different regimen.

• High prolactin levels (hyperprolactinemia)
• Prolactin-related infertility
• Irregular or absent menstrual periods due to excess prolactin
• Unwanted breast milk production (galactorrhea)
• Pituitary prolactin-secreting tumors, when prescribed by a doctor

• Swallow Caberlin 0.5 mg Tablet whole with water.
• Take it exactly on the days and at the times your doctor prescribes.
• It is often taken with food or after a meal to help reduce nausea.
• If you feel dizzy or sleepy after a dose, avoid driving, alcohol, or standing up too fast.
• Do not split, crush, or chew unless your pharmacist or doctor tells you to do so.
• Follow the full dosing schedule carefully, because this medicine is usually not taken every day for many patients.

Each Caberlin 0.5 mg Tablet provides 0.5 mg of cabergoline. The dose may be taken once or twice weekly in many treatment plans, but the exact schedule and maximum amount per week depend on the reason it is prescribed and your doctor’s instructions. Do not change the dose yourself, since cabergoline dosing must be individualized and this strength may be part of a carefully titrated plan.

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