----------------------------------------------------------- New Message on Pituitary Chat
----------------------------------------------------------- From: ð_§hêxï_êmz_ð Message 2 in Discussion Hi, I haven't even started my meds yet as have been going around in circles not knowing which to take - althought the internet is good for some things you can also get information overload.I have made the decision to start on Quinagolide(Norprolac) as this drug is made in a different way from Cabergoline(Dostinex) or Bromocriptine. Quinagolide is what they call a Non - ergot derived drug whilst Bromo & Cabergoline are ergot derived. In view of the recent findings regarding Cabergoline in relation to possible heart valve problems I have decided to start on this drug. The success rate is good but the only time I have been advised not to take it is if pregnancy is planned.
