Is bleeding during Dostinex part of the side effects, or is it the return of menstruation?
Hello
I was diagnosed with an increase in the hormone prolactin after two months of amenorrhea. The doctor prescribed dostinex because of 1 gram per week. My first dose triggered bleeding for two weeks now. I would like to know if this bleeding is part of the side effects of dostinex or is it the return of menstruation? .
Thank you very much

The bleeding you experience after starting treatment with Dostinex (cabergoline) is probably related to the action of the drug and may be interpreted as a return of menstruation.
Dostinex is a dopamine agonist medicine used to treat hyperprolactinemia (elevated levels of prolactin). It works by inhibiting the secretion of prolactin by the pituitary gland, which leads to the normalization of the level of this hormone. The GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to book Dostinex at a selected stationary pharmacy and collect it upon presentation of a prescription:

In the case of hyperprolactinemia, which often causes menstrual disorders or amenorrhea, starting treatment with Dostinex can restore a normal menstrual cycle. Bleeding that occurs two weeks after the first dose of the drug may be a sign that the body is responding to treatment and the hormonal cycle is normalizing.
However, it is important to note that bleeding can also be one of the side effects of the drug. Therefore, it is important to monitor your condition and stay in touch with your treating doctor, who can assess whether the bleeding is a normal response to treatment or requires additional intervention. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:

It is also worth noting that the treatment of hyperprolactinemia usually lasts several months, and the full therapeutic effect may be visible only after a longer period of use of the drug. Therefore, it is important to continue treatment as directed by your doctor and to regularly monitor your prolactin levels and other hormonal parameters.
