Bromocriptine ke Zariye Prolactinoma ka Ilaj: Kitni Dose, Asar, Khatre?
Sochiye aapko doctor ne bataya hai ke aapke hormones, khaas taur par prolactin, bohat zyada ban rahe hain. Ye halat "Prolactinoma" kehlati hai — ek chhota sa non-cancerous tumor pituitary gland mein hota hai. Doctor ne aapko Bromocriptine likh kar di, lekin aap soch rahe hain ke ye dawa asal mein karti kya hai, kitni dose sahi hoti hai, aur iske side effects kya hain? Is article mein hum puri tafseel se, asaan aur human style roman Urdu mein samjhayenge.
Prolactinoma Kya Hai?
Prolactinoma ek benign (non-cancerous) pituitary adenoma hai jo hormone "Prolactin" ko zyada banata hai. Ye hormone normally breast milk production ke liye hota hai, lekin jab ye zyada ho jaye to kai problems paida hoti hain.
- Aurton mein: periods band ho jate hain, milk discharge hota hai (galactorrhea), infertility ho sakti hai.
- Mardon mein: testosterone kam ho jata hai, sexual desire kam hoti hai, aur kabhi-kabhi impotence bhi.
- Baray tumor (macro prolactinoma): headaches, vision problems, aur hormonal imbalance bhi ho sakta hai.
Yani prolactinoma aik hormonal imbalance ki wajah se body ke natural system ko disturb karta hai. Ye zyada tar 20–40 saal ki age ke logon mein hota hai, aur zyada cases aurton mein dekhe jate hain.
Bromocriptine Kya Hai?
Bromocriptine ek dopamine agonist drug hai. Iska matlab hai ke ye brain ke dopamine receptors ko activate karti hai, jisse Prolactin ka release kam ho jata hai. Jab Prolactin kam hota hai to tumor ka size bhi dheere-dheere chhota hone lagta hai.
Ye dawa 1970s se use ho rahi hai, aur ab bhi use hoti hai — khaas taur par un countries mein jahan Cabergoline (ek nayi aur expensive medicine) available nahi hoti.
Bromocriptine ke Uses:
- Prolactinoma aur hyperprolactinemia ka treatment
- Infertility due to high prolactin
- Parkinson’s disease (kabhi-kabhi, supportive therapy)
- Acromegaly (growth hormone disorder) mein supplementary use
Prolactinoma Mein Bromocriptine Kyu Di Jati Hai?
Iska main aim hai:
- Prolactin hormone ko normal range mein lana
- Tumor ka size kam karna
- Headache, vision aur hormonal problems ko control karna
Research ke mutabiq, Bromocriptine lagbhag 80% patients mein Prolactin level kam karti hai aur tumor size mein noticeable improvement deti hai. Lekin kuch logon mein side effects ki wajah se isay bardasht karna mushkil hota hai — aise cases mein Cabergoline prefer ki jati hai.
Bromocriptine Ki Dose (Dosage Guide)
1. Shuruati Dose (Initial Dose)
Doctor aam tor par 1.25 mg ya 2.5 mg daily se start karte hain — usually raat ke waqt khane ke sath. Iska maksad hota hai ke patient ko nausea (matli) ya dizziness kam mehsoos ho.
2. Dose Adjustment
Har 5–7 din baad dose thoda thoda barhaya jata hai, jab tak Prolactin level normal na ho jaye. Ye adjustment doctor ke advice par depend karti hai.
3. Maintenance Dose
Aksar logon ko 2.5 mg se 15 mg daily tak dose di jati hai — divided in 2–3 doses per day. Agar macro prolactinoma hai to dose zyada bhi ho sakti hai.
4. Kaise Lena Chahiye?
- Dawa hamesha khane ke sath leni chahiye.
- Tablet ko pani ke sath pura nigalna chahiye.
- Raat ke waqt lena behtar hai, taake dizziness ya nausea kam mehsoos ho.
Bromocriptine Ka Asar (Effectiveness)
Bromocriptine ka asar har patient mein different hota hai, lekin aam tor par kuch hafton ke andar improvement dikhne lagti hai.

- Periods wapas aana shuru ho jate hain (aurton mein).
- Mardon mein testosterone level normal hone lagta hai.

Yad rahe: ye process slow hota hai — kuch logon ko 3–6 mahine lagte hain, aur kuch ko 1 saal tak regular use karna parta hai.
Bromocriptine Ke Side Effects

Pregnancy Aur Bromocriptine
Bromocriptine ko pregnancy ke doran kuch cases mein safe mana gaya hai, lekin sirf doctor ke supervision mein use karni chahiye. Aksar doctors recommend karte hain ke jab conception ho jaye to medicine temporarily stop kar di jaye, jab tak zarurat na ho.

Alternative Dawa – Cabergoline
Cabergoline bhi ek dopamine agonist hai lekin iske side effects kam hain aur dosing convenient hoti hai (sirf haftay mein 1–2 dafa). Lekin ye mehngi hoti hai aur Pakistan mein har jagah available nahi.
Jin patients ko Bromocriptine bardasht nahi hoti, unke liye Cabergoline best alternate hai.
Conclusion
Bromocriptine ek proven aur effective treatment hai Prolactinoma ke liye, lekin isay doctor ke supervision mein lena zaruri hai. Ye dawa Prolactin ko normal karti hai, fertility wapas la sakti hai, aur tumor ka size kam karti hai. Lekin dose aur duration hamesha specialist ke mashware se decide honi chahiye.
Remember: Self-medication ya apni marzi se dose badalna khatarnaak ho sakta hai. Agar aapko lagta hai ke asar kam hai, to follow-up blood test aur MRI ke baad doctor se dose adjust karwayen.
