INDICATIONS AND USAGE
ELONDA Tablets are indicated for the treatment of hyperprolactinemic disorders,
either idiopathic or due to pituitary adenomas.
ELONDA is used to stop breast milk production (lactation) soon after childbirth, stillbirth,
abortion or miscarriage. It can also be used if you do not want to continue to breast-feed
your baby once you have started.
ELONDA can also be used to treat other conditions caused by hormonal disturbance which
can result in high levels of prolactin being produced. This includes lack of periods,
infrequent and very light menstruation, periods in which ovulation does not occur and
secretion of milk from your breast without breastfeeding. Also in conditions in which
high levels of prolactin are due to unknown causes (idiopathic hyperprolactinemia) or
are caused by tumours of the pituitary gland in both men and women.
Cabergoline mimics the action of dopamine to reduce the production of prolactin in the
blood. Prolactin is the hormone which stimulates the breast to produce milk.

years.
