Brief Answer:
Parlodel needs to be taken for 3 months.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

PARLODEL contains Bromocriptine as active ingredient. It is used to treat symptoms of hyperprolactinemia including lack of menstrual period and anovulation.

It should be taken for 3 months with proper dosing and monitoring. Hopefully, your period will resume during this time frame. Kindly, consult with your treating doctor for complete prescription and dose.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and take care yourself.

Regards,
Dr S Patra

Brief Answer:
Not possible to get pregnant without ovulation or period.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for follow up query.

1) It is quite IMPOSSIBLE to get pregnant without period or ovulation during the course of PARLODEL treatment.

2) Do check your pregnancy status with home pregnancy test. It is Pregnancy category B drug i.e. Animal reproduction studies have failed to demonstrate a risk to the fetus and there are NO adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. It will suppress milk production only.

3) Yes, you can take Vitamin E and Folic acid supplements in different time schedule. CLOMID should be started after getting NORMAL prolactin level.

Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, close the discussion.

All the best and good luck.

Regards,
Dr S Patra
