Cabergoline was developed by Pfizer Inc. (USA) and received approval for marketing from the U.S. FDA on December 23, 1996. It is used to treat idiopathic hyperprolactinemia or hyperprolactinemia caused by pituitary adenomas, and there are multiple versions and channels available in the market. Currently, it has not been launched in China and is not included in China's medical insurance. Patients can purchase genuine cabergoline through platforms such as formal medical institutions.

How to Buy Genuine Cabergoline

To purchase genuine cabergoline, patients need to pay attention to the source, channel of the medication, and verification methods.

Exercise Caution When Using Cross-Border E-Commerce Platforms

With the development of cross-border e-commerce, some patients choose to buy cabergoline through overseas platforms. This method carries significant risks. Patients should select cross-border e-commerce platforms with formal qualifications and a good reputation, and carefully verify medication information, including the manufacturer, batch number, and expiration date. They should also check whether the platform provides genuine product guarantees and after-sales services.

Verify the Authenticity of the Medication

After purchasing cabergoline, patients need to verify its authenticity. This can be done by checking the anti-counterfeiting mark on the medication packaging, or through inquiries on the manufacturer's official website or the website of the relevant drug regulatory authority. Confirm that the purchased medication is genuine.

Diet Precautions for Cabergoline Use

During the use of cabergoline, patients need to pay attention to dietary adjustments to avoid affecting the medication's efficacy or increasing adverse reactions.

Avoid High-Fat Foods

High-fat foods may affect the absorption and metabolism of cabergoline. During the medication period, patients should try to avoid consuming high-fat foods such as fried foods and fatty meats.

Maintain a Balanced Diet

To maintain good health and stable medication efficacy, patients should maintain a balanced diet. Eating more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and other foods rich in fiber and vitamins helps promote intestinal peristalsis and reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions such as constipation.

Medication Precautions for Cabergoline

When using cabergoline, patients must strictly follow the doctor's instructions and pay attention to the following medication-related matters.

Initial Dosage and Dosage Adjustment

The initial dosage of cabergoline is usually 0.25mg, taken orally twice a week. Based on the patient's prolactin level and condition, the doctor may gradually adjust the dosage. Patients should follow the doctor's guidance, take the medication on time and in the correct dosage, and undergo regular re-examinations so that the doctor can adjust the treatment plan according to the condition.

Be Aware of Adverse Reactions

Some adverse reactions may occur during the use of cabergoline, such as dyspepsia, nausea, constipation, and headache. Patients should closely monitor their physical condition. If severe adverse reactions or discomfort occur, they should stop taking the medication immediately and seek medical attention. Patients should also regularly monitor liver function and lung conditions to prevent potential severe adverse reactions.

During the medication period, patients should maintain a balanced diet, be alert to adverse reactions, and follow the doctor's guidance for dosage adjustment and regular re-examinations. These measures will help patients use cabergoline safely and effectively, and improve their quality of life.
