During clomiphene citrate treatment, dominant follicles luteinized during cycle two; during hMG treatment, no dominant follicle growth was observed during cycle two; during hMG treatment with a higher dose, follicles luteinized during cycles two and three. During IVF-ET, the embryo quality was not high, and the PRL level increased with E2. Follicular dysplasia may be related to mental stress and high PRL levels. Outcome in patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is variable.

  • The pharmacodynamic actions of cabergoline not correlated with the therapeutic effect only relate to blood pressure decrease.
  • Before administration of cabergoline, pregnancy should be excluded.
  • If fibrotic valvular disease is detected, the patient should not be treated with cabergoline.
  • Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) has been found to be abnormally increased in association with pleural effusion/fibrosis.

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies from the use of cabergoline in pregnant women. Animal studies have not demonstrated teratogenic effects, but reduced fertility and embryo-toxicity were observed in association with pharmacodynamic activity (see section 5.3). No information is available about the interaction between cabergoline and other ergot alkaloids; therefore, the concomitant use of these medications during long-term treatment with cabergoline is not recommended.
