How Criptine works
Criptine is a dopamine receptor agonist. It decreases the release of prolactin (milk hormone) in the body. Overproduction of this hormone is associated with abnormal production of breast milk as well as suppression of the sexual glands which can cause infertility. Reducing prolactin levels with Criptine can therefore improve these conditions. In acromegaly, it works by lowering the amount of growth hormone in the body.
Quick Tips
- Criptine is used to treat conditions caused by excess production of a natural hormone called prolactin such as infertility, or abnormal production of breast milk (galactorrhoea).
- It should be taken with or after food to avoid side effects such as nausea or indigestion.
- To lower the chance of feeling dizzy or passing out, rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down.
- Use caution while driving or doing anything that requires concentration as Criptine can cause dizziness and sleepiness.
- Do not take Criptine if you are breastfeeding.
- Monitoring of blood pressure may be advised regularly during treatment with Criptine.
