Prolactinogenic

Prolactinogenic drugs are a type of medication that stimulates the release of the hormone prolactin from the pituitary gland. Prolactin is a hormone released by the pituitary gland that is important for lactation, the production of milk in breastfeeding women. Prolactinogenic drugs are typically used to induce lactation in breastfeeding women before the natural onset of lactation. They may also be used in the treatment of certain types of infertility, as well as in the treatment of certain types of gynecological disorders. The most common type of prolactinogenic drug is the synthetic hormone, cabergoline. Cabergoline stimulates the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland, allowing a woman to begin lactation before the natural onset. Other types of prolactinogenic drugs include metoclopramide, bromocriptine, and domperidone. These drugs are typically used in combination with other medications, such as estrogen and progesterone, to induce lactation in breastfeeding women. In addition, these drugs may also be used in the treatment of certain types of infertility, and some types of gynecological disorders.
