Prolactin

In the men's world, prolactin has a rather bad reputation

If prolactin levels are too high (hyperprolactinemia), this can lead to reduced libido in men. Erectile dysfunction can also occur - in the worst case, impotence. In the long term, this can even lead to a decrease in bone density in men, as the testosterone level is also reduced and testosterone production in the testicles is reduced. Prolactin levels that are too high can also cause depression. Finally, prolactin also inhibits the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which is produced in the hypothalamus.

Cabergoline is a synthetic ergoline which shows high specificity and affinity for the dopamine D2 receptor. It is a potent and very long-acting inhibitor of prolactin secretion. Prolactin-lowering effects occur rapidly after a single dose.

Cabergoline treatment may increase orgasmic function, boost sexual desire and treat medical conditions like testosterone deficiency in men. Certain types of sexual dysfunction may also see benefits from cabergoline.
