The active ingredient in Cabgolin 0.25 Tablet is cabergoline (0.25 mg). Here's how it works:

• Cabergoline is dopamine D2 receptor agonist. It attaches itself to these receptors in your brain and stimulates them in a similar way to dopamine, a naturally occurring chemical in your body.

• This action helps prevent or decrease the release of prolactin from the anterior pituitary gland, a small organ at the base of the brain that produces prolactin and other hormones.

• By reducing prolactin levels, cabergoline aids in managing symptoms related to high levels of this hormone.

• Store Cabgolin 0.25 Tablet at room temperature, ideally between 20°C to 25°C.

• Keep it away from direct light and moisture; a dry, dark place like a closed cupboard is best.

• Keep the medicine away from children.

• Always check the expiry date before taking the medicine; don't use it if it's expired.

• If you're managing hyperprolactinemia with Cabgolin 0.25 Tablet, consider reducing your consumption of foods rich in prolactin, such as dairy products and red meat.

• Increase your intake of vitamin B6-rich foods such as bananas, spinach, and avocados, as they can help lower prolactin levels.

• Regularly engage in stress-reducing activities like yoga or meditation, as stress can raise prolactin levels.

• Always maintain a regular sleep pattern; disturbed sleep can influence prolactin production.

• Limit alcohol and caffeine intake, as both can potentially influence prolactin secretion.
