The Effect of Bromocriptine on Serum Uric acid Concentration in Infertile hyperprolactinemic Women
نویسنده
چکیده
Objective: To measure and to evaluate the effect of bromocriptine on the concentration of uric acid in infertile women with hyperprolactinema. Methods: Sixty infertile women, who had serum prolactin concentration at least twice the upper limit of normal values participated in this study. Serum prolactin and uric acid concentrations were measured before and after giving bromocriptine 2.5 mg orally daily. Results: A significant reduction of serum prolactin level (48.04±24.14 to 12.61±11.79) was seen after treatment with bromocriptine. Normalization of serum prolactin levels was achieved in 52 (86.7%) patients. A significant drop of uric acid was noted after treatment with bromocriptine. Mean serum uric acid concentration of 378.4±29.64 μmmol/L decreased to 365.88±27.34 μmmol/L after bromocriptine therapy. Conclusions: Serum uric acid concentration is high in infertile hyperprolactinemic women. Bromocriptine may have an effect on uric acid excretion, suggesting a hypouricemuic effect of this drug.

Twenty-two women with hyperprolactinemia and amenorrhea were followed up for at least 18 months after 22 bromocriptine-induced full term pregnancies. Return of menstruation occurred in 9 of the 22 patients after pregnancy. Five of them conceived subsequently without any treatment.

OBJECTIVE It is well known that bromocriptine has a suppressive effect on the prolactin release in hyperprolactinemic patients. But it also has some adverse effects. The new, long-acting dopaminergic drug, cabergoline, has been reported to be an effective agent in these patients. However, there are relatively few reports comparing the beneficial and adverse effects of these drugs in the treatme...
