A member asked:
If my 361 prolactin is causing my hair loss - would bromocriptine potentially stop the shedding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Studies have shown an ASSOCIATION between high prolactin levels and hair loss. However, it is not clear that prolactin is the cause or a symptom of another underlying disease. The causal connection is far from clear or definitive.
