ABSTRACT

8 or 12 mg/day methergolin was administered for an average of 8 months to 80 patients with hyperprolactinaemia of tumoural (20 cases), idiopathic (39 cases), and iatrogenic (21 cases) origin. The success of the treatment was apparent in the return of ovulation and the establishment of pregnancy in 80% of patients with microadenoma, and 85% of those with a normal sella turcica.
