Dr. Eric Kelts answered

Specializes in Neurology

Prolactinoma: Presumably the pituitary tumor you are suffering from is a prolactin-secreting tumor, also called a prolactinoma. Bromocryptine acts by binding to dopamine receptors, and suppresses overactive pituitary secretions in many patients. Take care and stay healthy!
