Overview
Bromolac Tablet contains Bromocriptine Mesylate, manufactured by Square Pharmaceuticals PLC. It is a dopamine receptor agonist used in the management of hyperprolactinemia-associated conditions (galactorrhea, amenorrhea, infertility), prevention of physiological lactation, acromegaly, and as an adjunct in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
Dosage and Administration
For hyperprolactinemia: usually starting at 1.25-2.5 mg once daily, gradually increased as advised by the physician, taken with food to reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Dose and duration vary according to indication.
Interaction
Concomitant use with other ergot alkaloids, macrolide antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin), or antihypertensives may increase plasma levels or potentiate hypotensive effects. Dopamine antagonists (e.g., metoclopramide, antipsychotics) may reduce its efficacy.
Contraindications
Contraindicated in uncontrolled hypertension, pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, severe ischemic heart disease, and known hypersensitivity to ergot alkaloids.
Side Effects
Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, and postural hypotension, particularly with the first dose. Drowsiness and fatigue may also occur.
Pregnancy and Lactation
Used to suppress lactation when indicated; use during pregnancy only under close medical supervision and specific indication, as advised by a physician.
Precautions and Warnings
First dose should be taken at bedtime to minimize hypotensive effects. Blood pressure should be monitored, especially during the first days of treatment. Use with caution in patients with a history of psychotic disorders or peptic ulcer disease.
Storage Conditions
Store below 30°C, in a dry place, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of the reach of children.
