INTRODUCTION
SICRIPTIN
2.5MG contains Bromocriptine which belongs to the group of medicines
called Dopamine agonists. It helps to manage hormonal disorders
associated with increased levels of a hormone called prolactin in the
body. It is used stop breast milk production among lactating women who
wish to stop breastfeeding. It can also be used to manage infertility
problems (such as delay in puberty or lack of periods in both men and
women) and prolactinomas (non-cancerous tumours of brain) which is
caused due to increased levels of prolactin in the blood.
It also
helps in the management of acromegaly (abnormal growth during
adolescence) and is also capable of controlling signs and symptoms of
parkinsonism (a nerve disorder caused due to deficiency of a brain
chemical called dopamine).
Bromocriptine is a prolactin inhibitor
with dopamine agonistic activity. It exerts its effects by blocking the
production of a hormone called prolactin in the body. This helps in
reducing breast milk production, infertility problems and abnormal
growth (acromegaly) that are caused primarily due to abnormal prolactin
levels in blood. It also controls the symptoms of parkinsonism by
replacing the lost dopamine levels in the brain.
Prior and during
management with SICRIPTIN 2.5MG your doctor will regularly monitor your
heart (blood pressure), lungs and kidney functions to avoid the risk of
unwanted side effects. Women taking SICRIPTIN 2.5MG for a long time

HOW SICRIPTIN 2.5MG WORKS
SICRIPTIN

medicine called bromocriptine which is a dopamine agonist and a
prolactin inhibitor. It reduces the excess production of a hormone
called prolactin in the body that causes galactorrhoea (increased breast
milk production), infertility problems or certain non-cancerous tumours

growth hormone produced in the body. It also reduces the signs and
