In High levels of prolactin

Prolactin is a hormone that helps in the growth and development of breasts and also causes milk secretion in females. Sicriptin Tablet helps to stop breast milk secretion in females that have had a still birth, miscarriage or abortion. It acts on a chemical in the brain, dopamine, that is responsible for these high levels of prolactin and stops milk secretion.

In Female infertility

Sicriptin Tablet helps in the regulation of ovulation and menstruation. It is used to cause menstrual periods in women who have not reached menopause but are not having periods due to too much prolactin hormone in the body. Use the medicine as prescribed for it to be effective.

In Acromegaly

Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder that occurs due to excessive secretion of growth hormone in adults. When this happens, the bones increase in size, including those of your hands, feet, and face. Sicriptin Tablet helps decrease the growth hormone levels, and therefore, helps in treating acromegaly and its associated effects. Take it as advised by the doctor to get the most benefits.
