Drug Uses
Pаrlodel lowers prolactin levels. Prolactin is a hormone important for the production of breast milk and for normal fertility in women.
Pаrlodel is used to treat disorders such as amenorrhea (lack of a menstrual period), persistent breast milk production, infertility, and other conditions associated with high prolactin levels caused by prolactin-secreting tumors in women and in men.
Pаrlodel is also used to treat Parkinson's disease, which is associated with low levels of dopamine in the brain. Pаrlodel has effects similar to those of dopamine, which makes it effective in the treatment of the stiffness, tremors, spasms, and poor muscle control associated with Parkinson's disease.
How to use
Use Pаrlodel as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
Take Pаrlodel by mouth with or without food.
It may be helpful to mark on a calendar which days you are supposed to take Pаrlodel.
Drug Class and Mechanism
Pаrlodel is a dopamine agonist. It works by blocking the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland and lowering growth hormone levels (in patients with acromegaly). In Parkinson disease, Pаrlodel works by stimulating dopamine receptors in certain parts of the brain.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of Pаrlodel, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Storage
Store Pаrlodel at 77 degrees F (25 degrees C). Brief storage between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 and 30 degrees C) is permitted. Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep Pаrlodel out of the reach of children and away from pets.
