CRIPTON 2.5mg Tablets (30 Tablets)

About This Product

Cripton belongs to a group of medicines called dopamine agonists and prolactin inhibitors. It works by increasing the release of dopamine in the brain, which treats diseases where you need more of this substance. It also works by decreasing the release of prolactin and growth hormone in the body, which treats diseases where you need less of these substances. Cripton may be used for: • Stopping breast milk production for medical reasons only, and when you and your doctor have decided that it is necessary. It should not routinely be used to stop breast milk production. It should also not be used to relieve symptoms of painful breast engorgement after giving birth if these can be adequately treated with non-medical means (such as firm breast support, ice application) and/or a painkiller. • Treating fertility and period problems usually caused by not having the right amount of prolactin. This includes polycystic ovary syndrome (reduces prolactin levels). • Treating non-cancerous tumours in the brain called prolactinomas (reduces prolactin levels). • Treating diseases where too much growth hormone is made, which causes people to be very tall or to have large hands and feet. This is called acromegaly (reduces growth hormone levels). • Treating Parkinson’s Disease (increases dopamine levels).
