Sicriptin Tablet

Sicriptin Tablet contains bromocriptine as the active ingredient in each tablet. Bromocriptine is a dopamine agonist medicine used in fertility care, especially for hormone-related problems such as high prolactin levels that can interfere with ovulation and conception. Sicriptin Tablet is taken by mouth and is used under medical supervision to help restore more normal reproductive hormone balance. The exact amount of bromocriptine in each Sicriptin Tablet should be confirmed on the package label before use.

How it works: Bromocriptine works by activating dopamine receptors in the brain, which lowers prolactin release from the pituitary gland. In tablet form, Sicriptin Tablet helps reduce excess prolactin so ovulation and menstrual cycles may become more regular when high prolactin is the cause of infertility.

Because Sicriptin Tablet is a standard-strength bromocriptine tablet for oral use, it is typically chosen for patients who need a doctor-directed maintenance or titration dose rather than a very low introductory dose. It may be suitable when a prescriber wants the convenience of a tablet that can be adjusted in schedule according to the response, side effects, and hormone levels.

• High prolactin (hyperprolactinemia)
• Prolactin-related infertility
• Irregular or absent periods linked to excess prolactin
• Ovulation problems caused by elevated prolactin
• Doctor-directed hormone balance therapy

• Take Sicriptin Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow the tablet with water; do not crush or chew unless your prescriber tells you to.
• Take it with food or just after a meal if you feel nausea, since bromocriptine often upsets the stomach.
• Many patients are started on a low schedule and then adjusted gradually to reduce dizziness and nausea.
• Take it at the same time each day if your doctor has prescribed regular daily use.
• Stand up slowly after taking it, especially at the beginning of treatment, because it can lower blood pressure.

This Sicriptin Tablet provides bromocriptine in the strength printed on the pack label, and the exact milligram amount should be verified on the box or blister before starting. The dose may be taken once daily or in divided doses depending on the fertility problem and your prescriber’s plan; there is no single universal maximum for all patients because the doctor individualizes therapy and increases it carefully based on response and tolerability.

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