A member asked:

After taking dostinex, (cabergoline) how many days should repeate the serum prolactine level?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It varies: Significant reductions can be seen by 30 days, but there may be further reduction out to 90 days, in patients with extremely high prolactin levels, it can take as much as 6 months (180 days) to see the full benefit from the dostinex (cabergoline).
