Treatment of fibrocystic disease of the breast with a prolactin inhibitor: 2-Br-Alpha-Ergocryptine (CB-154) (original) (raw)

Obstetrics and Gynecology

Abstract

In order to evaluate the importance of prolactin in the pathogenesis and clinical evolution of fibrocystic disease of the breast, serum prolactin levels were determined in 7 patients affected by this condition before and during treatment with a prolactin inhibitor, 2-Br-alpha-ergocryptine (CB-154). Serum prolactin levels were found to be low or normal before treatment. During treatment with CB-154 there was an improvement in all patients but 2. The results of the study do not allow any conclusion on the possible relation between serum prolactin levels and fibrocystic disease of the breast but they indicate that CB-154 may be useful for treating patients with this disorder.
