Article Dans Anglais | IMSEAR | ID: sea-42733
ABSTRACT
Thirteen women with hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea were treated with lisuride (Dopergin, Schering AG, Germany). The dosage of lisuride was started with 0.1 mg per day and increased to 0.2 mg per day after one week of treatment. Further increment of the drug depended on clinical and laboratory responses of the patients. One patient dropped out from the study due to marked nausea and dizziness. In ten out of twelve patients serum prolactin decreased to normal. Most patients received lisuride 0.2-0.4 mg per day. Only one got more than 0.4 mg per day. Two patients whose serum prolactin levels did not decrease to normal range had uterine bleeding, quite regularly. Menstrual cycle resumed within 23 to 141 days. All galactorrhea disappeared during treatment. Two of five patients who desired pregnancy became pregnant during the treatment. The course and outcome of pregnancies were normal. Common side effects of lisuride treatment were nausea and dizziness. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that lisuride is another effective prolactin inhibiting agent even at low dose. This drug provides an alternative treatment to bromocriptine.
