Well...: an pituitary adenoma that measures less than 1 cm is called a micro-adenoma. This can often be treated with Carbegoline. And it takes more than 4 months in most cases. To know if it is working laboratory tests (blood levels of prolactin and other hormones) must be taken and a CT of the pituitary gland. Really there is no other logical way to know what has happened
