Marginally high prolactin

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about the high prolactin levels.

Prolactin levels should be less than 30 . In her case it is more.

It can be treated by a simple medicine calledc abgolin 0.5 mg once.

May I know why PEG was performed.

Let me know if you need any more help.
