About Rupactin 0.5 Tablet

Rupactin 0.5 Tablet is used to treat hyperprolactinemia (high levels of prolactin, a natural substance that allows breast development and milk production in women). Besides this, it can also be used to treat other conditions caused by hormonal disruption that can lead to the production of high levels of prolactin.

Rupactin 0.5 Tablet contains cabergoline, which works by mimicking the action of dopamine. Thereby decreases the amount of prolactin in the body. It helps stop breast milk production soon after stillbirth, abortion, miscarriage, or even after delivery if you do not want to breastfeed your baby once you have started.

In some cases, you may experience blurred vision, drowsiness, constipation, vomiting, dizziness, headache, and fatigue. Most of these side effects are temporary, do not require medical attention, and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not take Rupactin 0.5 Tablet if you have uncontrolled hypertension, known hypersensitivity to ergot derivatives, or heart disease.
