Recovery of growth hormone secretion following cabergoline treatment of macroprolactinomas

These data indicate that growth hormone secretion may recover following successful reduction of prolactin levels after cabergoline therapy for a mean of 22 months (range 6-28 months) in most but not all subjects with a macroprolactinoma. It is therefore advisable that individuals with a macroprolactinoma in whom growth hormone replacement therapy is being considered undergo repeat assessment of growth hormone secretion following medical treatment.
