Taking Bromocriptine To Lower Prolactin Levels, Regain Sex Drive. Curing Time?
Greetings, I am currently taking 2.5 mg of Bromocriptine (twice daily) in order to lower my prolactin levels and regain my sex drive/erectile function. How soon can I expect this to work?

Hello
Welcome to HCM
Bromocriptine is a drug that is used to lower the elevated prolcatin levels. It is an ergot derivative so it has few side effects as Orthostatic hypotension or postural decrease in BP, nausea, vomiting etc. As per my opinion if you are able to control your hypotension, either by increasing fluid intake, or by leg exercises then there is no need to get off from work.
thanks
