Medical Management of Prolactin Levels

The primary treatment for hyperprolactinemia involves oral medications known as dopamine agonists. These medications work by mimicking dopamine in the brain, which signals the pituitary gland to reduce its production of prolactin. For patients with benign pituitary tumors (prolactinomas), this medical therapy is highly effective at shrinking the tumor and normalizing hormone levels. Your endocrinologist will carefully monitor your prolactin levels and perform periodic clinical evaluations to adjust the medication dosage and ensure optimal reproductive and metabolic health.
