Criptine Tablet 2.5 mg contains Bromocriptine Mesylate, a dopamine receptor agonist used to treat conditions related to hormonal imbalances, particularly involving prolactin. Bromocriptine works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, which inhibits the excessive release of prolactin from the pituitary gland.

Criptine Tablet is commonly prescribed for the management of hyperprolactinemia, which may cause menstrual disturbances, infertility, and galactorrhea (abnormal milk production). It is also used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, type 2 diabetes (as an adjunct therapy), and to aid in lactation suppression when medically indicated.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Bromocriptine Mesylate 2.5 mg

Mechanism of Action

Bromocriptine is a dopamine D2 receptor agonist that acts on the hypothalamus to inhibit prolactin secretion from the anterior pituitary. By reducing elevated prolactin levels, it helps restore normal hormonal balance and reproductive function. In Parkinson’s disease, bromocriptine stimulates dopaminergic activity, improving motor control.
