Pituary gland tumour it is 7mm am on bromocriptine&have been having it for 1 month&period has already came back i ave 2.5 my doc said you need 5mg why?

Tumor shrinkage: Hi. Many prolactinomas shrink in response to bromocriptine. Return of periods and cessation of lactation are two goals of therapy, but so is tumor shrinkage. Are you tolerating the bromocriptine OK? If so, the tumor might get more shrinkage on 5 mg than on 2.5 mg. If you get really good control for a couple of years, sometimes you can stop the bromocriptine entirely and the tumor stays gone.
