PARLODEL
Parlodel is used to treat amenorrhea, a condition in which the menstrual period does not occur; infertility (inability to get pregnant) in women; abnormal discharge of milk from the breast; hypogonadism; Parkinson's disease; and acromegaly, a condition in which too much growth hormone is in the body. This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Parlodel comes as a capsule and tablet to take by mouth. It usually is taken once or twice a day. It also may be taken several times a day to treat certain conditions. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Parlodel exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking Parlodel suddenly without talking with your doctor. It could make your condition worse. If you are taking Parlodel for amenorrhea, it usually takes 6-8 weeks for a menstrual period to occur. If you are taking Parlodel to become pregnant, use a method of birth control other than oral contraceptives (birth control pills) until you have regular menstrual periods; then stop using birth control. If your menstrual period is 3 days late, call your doctor for a pregnancy test. Women who become pregnant while taking this medication should stop taking it and call their doctors immediately. If you do not wish to become pregnant, use a method of birth control other than oral contraceptives while taking Parlodel. Parlodel is also used to treat certain tumors in men and women, a condition called neuroleptic malignant syndrome; cocaine addiction; and a painful breast condition. Talk with your doctor about the possible risks of using this drug for your condition.  Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. Your doctor will order certain lab tests to check your response to Parlodel. Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription. |
