Always inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbal remedies, before starting Dostinex. This helps prevent potential interactions.
Cabergoline, the active ingredient in Dostinex, can interact with medications affecting dopamine levels in the brain. This includes antipsychotics like metoclopramide and some antidepressants. Such combinations might increase the risk of side effects.
Simultaneous use with certain cardiovascular drugs may also require monitoring. Your doctor should assess the risks and benefits before prescribing Dostinex if you’re on medication for high blood pressure or heart conditions.
Drugs that reduce the body’s ability to metabolize medications could influence Dostinex’s effectiveness. Your physician should evaluate this potential interaction and adjust dosages accordingly.
Ergot alkaloids, found in some migraine medications, should be avoided during Dostinex treatment as this combination increases the risk of adverse reactions.
Inform your doctor immediately if you experience any unusual symptoms while taking Dostinex, even if you believe they are unrelated to the medication. This allows prompt medical attention and potential adjustments to your treatment plan.
