Sicriptin 1.25mg Tablet

Sicriptin 1.25mg tablet is used to treat the following:

• Hyperprolactinemia
• Parkinson's disease
• Acromegaly
• Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS)
• Type 2 diabetes (off-label use)

Sicriptin 1.25mg tablet exerts its therapeutic effect as a dopamine agonist, activating dopamine receptors in the brain. This results in regulating dopamine levels and leads to various beneficial outcomes. This medication lowers prolactin levels in hyperprolactinemia, alleviating associated symptoms like irregular menstrual periods and infertility. For Parkinson's disease, it improves motor symptoms by compensating for dopamine deficiency. 

In acromegaly, it reduces growth hormone levels, mitigating abnormal tissue growth. It can also manage neuroleptic malignant syndrome emergencies. While occasionally used off-label, it may help improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. These diverse therapeutic effects make this medication valuable in treating various medical conditions related to dopamine imbalance.
