Hello, I have elevated prolactin and I got a prescription for dostinex from a gynecologist. I have to take 1/4 tablet every 7 days. I read that the general side effects that occur very often include m.in heart valve defects (probably with long-term treatment). I wanted to add that I have a defect of mitral valve prolapse. I do not hide that I was scared.. Should I change my medication? Do you take according to your doctor's instructions?

In your case, you can, for example, start therapy, as recommended by the doctor, and then after some time during the therapy perform a control echo of the heart. According to the manufacturer, the occurrence of valvular heart defect has been observed in patients taking Dostinex chronically. Therefore, if the doctor recommends long-term treatment, it is worth having the situation under control and checking the heart rate from time to time with a specialist.
