Cabgolin 0.5 Tablet is used for the treatment of hyperprolactinemia, it is a condition characterized by the excessive production of prolactin in the body, often caused by an overactive pituitary gland. This medication is commonly used to suppress breast milk production following stillbirth, childbirth, abortion, miscarriage, or when discontinuing breastfeeding.
In women, high levels of prolactin (a hormone responsible for breast milk production) cause changes in women’s ovulation, menstrual cycle, and breast milk production. In men, high levels of prolactin cause difficulty in reproduction and create sexual problems like reduced sexual drive and inability to keep or get an erection.

Additionally, this medication may enable pregnancy if hyperprolactinemia is the sole cause of infertility.
