Amenorrhea and galactorrhea: results of therapy with 2-Brom-alpha-ergocryptine (CB-154).

Administration of Brom-ergocryptine (CB-154) has a dramatic effect on breast secretion. Inhibition of lactation occurs within three to four weeks in women with amenorrhea and galactorrhea. Resumption of normal ovulatory function was documented by serum progesterone levels, as well as pregnancy, in three of four women attempting to conceive. Serum prolactin levels become normal following initiation of Brom-ergocryptine. Discontinuation of Brom-ergocryptine was found to result in a return of both inappropriate lactation and elevation of serum prolactin in this study. No deleterious side effects of Brom-ergocryptine have been found in any of the volunteers either clinically or on the basis of sequential laboratory studies.

Serum prolactin levels in galactorrhea.

Some patients with galactorrhea will have normal serum prolactin levels but many will have elevated serum prolactin levels. The galactorrhea may be due to drug ingestion, nipple afferent nerve stimulation, nonneoplastic disease or injury, and intracranial tumors. Serum prolactin levels were measured by radioimmunoassay in 17 women with galactorrhea. Levels 5 and 6 times normal values were found in two women who had proved pituitary adenomas. The latter conditions must be strongly considered and functional tests may help in diagnosis prior to enlargement of a prolactin-secreting tumor to the size where changes in the sella are seen on x-ray or visual field changes occur. If galactorrhea persists when no evidence of tumor can be found, the patient must be periodically re-evaluated, as the tumor may have been too small for detection at the time of the previous examination.
