Uses / Indications:
Colette 0.25 mg Tablet is mainly used to treat:
Hyperprolactinemia is a disorder in which the body makes too much prolactin, which can cause irregular periods, infertility, or undesired breast milk production.
Prolactinomas are tumors in the pituitary gland that make prolactin.
Menstrual problems caused by hormones that are out of balance.
High prolactin levels can make both men and women unable to have children.
Colette helps restore normal menstrual cycles and boosts fertility by lowering the amount of prolactin that is released.

How it works:
Cabergoline, a dopamine receptor agonist, is in Colette 0.25 mg Tablet.
Cabergoline works by activating dopamine receptors in the brain.
Dopamine normally stops the release of prolactin, so Cabergoline helps lower the amount of prolactin in the blood.
This brings prolactin levels back to normal, which helps women ovulate normally and men make testosterone.
It works on the pituitary gland to stop too much prolactin from being made, which fixes hormonal imbalances.
