Increased forearm bone mineral content after bromocriptine treatment in hyperprolactinemia. 1985

M P Caraceni, and E Corghi, and S Ortolani, and S Casazza, and A D'Alberton, and T Motta

We studied 15 hyperprolactinemic women to evaluate possible modifications of bone mineral content after pharmacological treatment. Patients received a dopamine agonist (bromocriptine) for six months after which there was a significant decrease of prolactin plasma levels (P less than 0.01) and a significant increase of bone mineral content (P less than 0.05).

D006966 Hyperprolactinemia Increased levels of PROLACTIN in the BLOOD, which may be associated with AMENORRHEA and GALACTORRHEA. Relatively common etiologies include PROLACTINOMA, medication effect, KIDNEY FAILURE, granulomatous diseases of the PITUITARY GLAND, and disorders which interfere with the hypothalamic inhibition of prolactin release. Ectopic (non-pituitary) production of prolactin may also occur.
