Cabergol Tablet 0.5 mg contains Cabergoline, a long-acting dopamine agonist used primarily to treat disorders associated with elevated prolactin levels (hyperprolactinemia). It effectively reduces prolactin secretion from the pituitary gland, helping manage conditions such as prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas, amenorrhea, galactorrhea, and infertility related to hormonal imbalance.

Cabergoline works by stimulating dopamine D2 receptors in the pituitary gland, which inhibits prolactin release. Its high selectivity and long half-life allow for a convenient dosing schedule, improving patient adherence.
