About Prolactin Inhibitors.

Prolactin inhibitors are a functional class of endocrine medications, predominantly consisting of dopamine D2-receptor agonists such as cabergoline and bromocriptine, that suppress the synthesis and secretion of prolactin from the anterior pituitary gland.

By stimulating pituitary dopamine receptors, these agents mimic endogenous hypothalamic dopamine, which serves as the primary physiological inhibitor of prolactin release.

They are principally indicated for the management of hyperprolactinemic disorders, including prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas (prolactinomas), galactorrhea, amenorrhea, and related ovulatory or fertility dysfunctions, as well as the physiological suppression of postpartum lactation.
