Pharmacological agents causing Hyperprolactinaemia:-Resperidone, olanzapin, phenothiazine,
Clomipramine, pimozide, haloperidol, & domperidone. Four days after Ry
stoppage of this drugs the PRL will hopefully come to normal. Additionally, MAO
inhibitors (pargyline, clorgyline,
opiate antidepressants codeine, Desipramine, Amitryptiline, Clomipramine
all can raise of PRL... If menst
function remains normal then :-A) Hyperprolactinemia-induced estrogen
deficiency is a possibility, but if
cycles remains undisturbed the one can ignore the serum PRL level
temporarily. But it is questioned that menst function reamaing normal pattern
can high PRLàlow serumE2 itself cause Osteoporosis
?? Therefore not only subfertility, LPD, abnormal folliculogenesis, we have to
consider possibility of accelerated bone loss due to hyperprolacunaemia rather
than prolactin itself, is the major factor in the development of osteopenia . Therefore,
estrogen replacement with typical hormone replacement regimens or hormonal
contraceptives is indicated for patients with amenorrhea or irregular menses.
Patients with drug-induced hyperprolactinemia can be
managed expectantly with attention to the risks of osteoporosis.
In the absence of symptoms of pituitary enlargement, imaging may be repeated in
12 months, and if prolactin levels remain stable, less frequently thereafter,
to assess further growth of the microadenoma.
