Product Details

Briomen Tablets contain Bromocriptine, a dopamine receptor agonist that works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain. This action helps to regulate the production of certain hormones, particularly prolactin, and can have beneficial effects in conditions where dopamine activity is reduced. Briomen Tablets are used to treat a variety of conditions, ranging from hormonal imbalances to neurological disorders.

Purpose

The primary purposes of Briomen Tablets include:

• Hyperprolactinemia: Helps to lower elevated prolactin levels, which can cause menstrual disorders, infertility, and other hormonal imbalances.
• Parkinson's Disease: Improves movement and reduces symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and slowness by enhancing dopamine activity.
• Acromegaly: Reduces the overproduction of growth hormone in patients with this condition.
• Type 2 Diabetes: Used as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in certain patients.
• Menstrual Disorders: Effective in treating conditions like amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) and infertility related to high prolactin levels.

Warnings

Briomen Tablets should be used cautiously in individuals with a history of liver or kidney disease, cardiovascular issues, or mental health disorders. This medication can affect blood pressure and heart rate and may cause psychiatric symptoms such as hallucinations and confusion, especially in patients with a history of mental health issues. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using Briomen Tablets, as Bromocriptine can pass into breast milk and may affect milk production.

Adverse Effects

Common side effects of Briomen Tablets may include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, fatigue, and constipation. While these effects are generally mild, some patients may experience more severe side effects such as severe hypotension (low blood pressure), hallucinations, confusion, severe abdominal pain, shortness of breath, or swelling of the ankles or feet. If any of these severe side effects occur, immediate medical attention is necessary.

Cautions

Before starting Briomen Tablets, inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, as Bromocriptine can interact with other medications. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and frequency. Regular monitoring may be necessary, especially when starting the medication or adjusting the dose, to minimize the risk of adverse effects. Store Briomen Tablets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and keep them out of reach of children.
