Cabergoline
Uses
Cabergoline is prescribed for a number of different medical conditions such as, treatment of inconsistent breast milk production, treatment for prolactinoma(non-cancerous swelling in the pituitary gland) which causes infertility, breast changes, and headaches. Cabergoline is used to treat sexual problems, and bone loss (in women who are not breast-feeding or men). Cabergoline is also used to treat Parkinson's disease.
How it Works
Cabergoline works by preventing the production of a chemical called prolactin which is involved in a number of processes within the body, including milk production after childbirth. Cabergoline therefore helps in constant breast milk production when it is needed. Cabergoline works by reducing the production of prolactin and helps in the long-term treatment of people with high levels of prolactin(People with Prolactinomas) which causes swelling in the pituitary gland, this directly causes symptoms such as infertility, breast changes, and headaches. Cabergoline also helps in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Cabergoline increases and encourages the release of Dopamine which is used by the brain, brain cells normally pass messages that control the muscles of the body, down nerves in the spinal cord by producing a chemical called dopamine. Damaged cells cant produce dopamine thus directly causing nerve messages to become slow or stop, this causes parkinsons disease which is then treated by Cabergoline which helps in the release of Dopamine and ease the symptoms.

Introduction
Cabergoline is generally used for the treatment of disorders caused by high levels of prolactin hormone in the body. The secretion of prolactin hormone may increase in the body due to tumours in the pituitary gland. This medicine blocks the secretion of prolactin hormone from the pituitary gland. Excess secretion of prolactin hormone may result in menstrual and fertility problems in women. Excess prolactin hormone in men may cause enlarged breasts and decreased sexual desire and ability. The tablets can be used to cure these problems in men and women.

Anorgasmia due to Multiple Sclerosis
Worked quite well after about 3 months. Yep... gotta wait at least that long. Google for "anorgasmia" (inability to achieve an orgasm) and Cabergoline. Research has shown that full benefit does not occur until 3-6 months after taking Cabergoline. Out of their research study they found that about 1/3 said it didn't help, 1/3 said it helped somewhat and 1/3 said it completely resolved their problem. So you figure that you have a 2 out of 3 odds that it will at least improve your condition. For me, I'm right in between the "somewhat" and the "completely resolved" range so it's easy to justify. Recommended dosage is .5mg twice a week. Good luck!

Cabergoline from Sun Pharma
I have been taking Cabergoline from Sun Pharma for more than a year to help manage my Parkinson's. To me, there is no difference whatsoever between this generic and the branded alternative except for the price of course! I save plenty with the generic!
