  • Title: Treatment of acromegaly with bromocriptine.
    Author: Steinbeck K, Turtle JR.
    Journal: Med J Aust; 1978 Nov 04; 2(3 Suppl):35-6. PubMed ID: 745581.
    Abstract:
    Twelve patients with acromegaly were treated with bromocriptine for periods from nine to 23 months. All showed some clinical improvement. There was no significant difference in plasma growth hormone levels before and after therapy with bromocriptine, but a significant fall in plasma prolactin levels was observed after the bromocriptine therapy was commenced. The release of other pituitary hormones was not affected by bromocriptine.
