CB-Lin Tablet

CB-Lin Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains cabergoline in each tablet and is supplied in a strip/box of 10 tablets by Serum Institute, India. Cabergoline is a dopamine agonist used in infertility-related care, most often to lower elevated prolactin levels that can interfere with ovulation and fertility. CB-Lin Tablet is used only when a clinician has confirmed that cabergoline is appropriate for the patient’s condition. Because it is a tablet, it is swallowed whole and delivers a measured dose of cabergoline in a convenient oral form.

How it works: Cabergoline works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, which reduces the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland. In CB-Lin Tablet form, this medicine is swallowed and absorbed into the body to help bring prolactin levels down over time.

CB-Lin Tablet is the standard tablet strength sold in this pack, and it differs from the sibling CB-Lin 0.25 Tablet, which is the lower 0.25 mg strength. The tablet strength in this product may be chosen for patients who need a higher cabergoline dose than the 0.25 mg tablet can provide, or for dose schedules where fewer tablets are needed. A doctor selects the strength based on prolactin level, response, and how well the person tolerates cabergoline.

• High prolactin (hyperprolactinemia)
• Fertility treatment related to elevated prolactin
• Menstrual irregularity caused by excess prolactin
• Milk production not related to breastfeeding
• Ovulation problems linked to prolactin excess

• Swallow CB-Lin Tablet whole with water; do not crush, split, or chew unless your doctor specifically tells you to.
• Take it exactly on the schedule prescribed, since cabergoline dosing is individualized and may be adjusted slowly.
• Taking the tablet with food may help reduce nausea or stomach upset.
• Stand up slowly after taking it, especially when starting treatment, because dizziness can occur.
• Follow your doctor’s advice about whether to take it at bedtime if you feel lightheaded or sleepy after a dose.

Each CB-Lin Tablet contains cabergoline in the labeled tablet strength, which is the higher tablet strength sold alongside CB-Lin 0.25 Tablet. Cabergoline is often taken once or twice weekly, but the exact frequency and maximum daily amount are determined by the prescriber based on the patient’s prolactin level and response; do not change the dose on your own. A doctor may start lower and increase gradually if needed and if the medicine is tolerated.

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

• Use caution with driving or operating machinery until you know how CB-Lin Tablet affects you, because dizziness and sleepiness can happen.

• Tell your doctor about all medicines you take, especially drugs that can lower blood pressure or medicines that affect dopamine.
• Do not use this medicine during pregnancy unless your doctor specifically says it is necessary.
