(postpartum). Dostinex may also be used for Parkinson's disease, prolactin-producing
tumors and to adjust various hormone levels in certain diseases (ovarian diseases).
It can also be used in the treatment of ED.
Dosage
Dostinex is taken by mouth twice weekly. Dosage is adjusted generally at 4 week
periods based on blood tests (prolactin). Follow all instructions.

drowsiness, tingling or numbness sensation may occur. If these persist or worsen,
notify your doctor. Unlikely but report promptly any mental/mood changes. Very
unlikely but report promptly any fainting, swelling of feet or ankles, breast
pain or menstrual changes or vision problems. If you notice other effects not
listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
Precautions
Before using Dostinex, tell your doctor your medical history, including any
allergies (especially drug allergies), liver disease, psychiatric illness, uncontrolled
high blood pressure or high blood pressure during pregnancy. Limit alcohol as
it may aggravate side effects of Dostinex. Caution performing tasks requiring
alertness, such as driving. To avoid dizziness and lightheadedness when rising
from a seated or lying position, get up slowly. Tell your doctor if you are
pregnant before using this medication. It is not known if Dostinex is excreted
into breast milk. Because of the potential risk to the infant, breast-feeding
while using Dostinex is not recommended. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
