A member asked:

Could prolactinoma patients stop bromocriptine after some years?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prolactinoma: Patients with prolactinoma typically have to take medications like bromocriptine for a life time - there might be some cases of patients that were able to come off the medication but in my experience this is quite rare unless there is surgery to remove the prolactinoma.
