A member asked:

My prolactin level reads 42, what drug can i use to bring down the level and how long will it take to come own?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The easiest: Way is to remove the cause, particularly if it's due to hypothyroidism, medication, etc. If it's a pituitary tumor you need a neurosurgical evaluation. If everything else is stable, Cabergoline can reduce elevated prolactin levels in most patients within several weeks, but you need to titrate the dose as needed. Talk w/your doctor.
