Metergoline and bromocriptine in the management of tumoral and idiopathic hyperprolactinemia

Bromocriptine1.2 and metergoline3–5 are currently used with success in the management of hyperprolactinaemic amenorrhoea-galactorrhoea and anovulation. The aim of this study was to compare on clinical and on endocrine grounds the therapeutic efficacy of the two drugs in a series of 59 women affected by tumoural and non-tumoural hyperprolactinaemia.
