be suitable for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Cardiovascular disease.<\/li><li>Gastric ulcer&nbsp;or bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract (may cause black stools or bloody vomiting).<\/li><li>Previously serious mental illness, especially psychotic illness.Hepatic or renal impairment.<\/li><li>Raynaud&#8217;s disease&nbsp;(when cold, fingers and toes become bluish white,

breathing, fluid in the lungs,&nbsp;infectionor&nbsp;inflammation&nbsp;in the lungs).<\/li><li>Fibrotic reactions (scar tissue) in the heart, lungs or abdomen.<br><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are being treated with Cabergoline Teva for a long time, your doctor will check that your heart, lungs and kidneys are in good condition before starting treatment.&nbsp;He \/ she will also take an echocardiogram (an ultrasound examination of the heart) before starting treatment and at regular intervals during treatment.&nbsp;If fibrotic reactions occur, treatment will be discontinued.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if you or your family \/ carer notices that you develop a strong desire or desire to behave in a way that is unusual for you or that you can not resist the impulse, drive or temptation to perform certain activities that can harm you or others.&nbsp;These behaviors are called impaired impulse control and may include gambling addiction, compulsive eating, compulsive buying, an abnormally high sexual drive, or an increase in sexual thoughts and feelings.&nbsp;<strong>Your doctor may need to adjust&nbsp;dose&nbsp;one or discontinue treatment<\/strong>&nbsp;.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have just given birth, you may be at higher risk for certain medical problems.&nbsp;This can be high&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;, heart attack, seizures,&nbsp;strokes&nbsp;or mental problems.&nbsp;Therefore, your doctor must check your&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;regularly during treatment.&nbsp;Contact a doctor immediately if you get high&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;, chest pain or unusually severe or persistent headaches (with or without vision problems).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Infertility can be reversed in women taking Cabergoline Teva, and pregnancy may occur before the menstrual cycle normalizes.&nbsp;Therefore, a pregnancy test is recommended at least every four weeks during the period before menstruation returns and thereafter, each time a period is delayed by more than three days.&nbsp;<br>Appropriate contraception should therefore be used during treatment with Cabergoline Teva and also from the end of treatment until ovulation has stopped (see section Pregnancy and lactation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The safety and efficacy of Cabergoline Teva have not been established in children and adolescents under 16 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Cabergoline Teva<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain antihypertensive drugs and certain drugs (eg phentiazine derivatives, butyrophenone derivatives, thioxanthene derivatives) for mental illness (schizophrenia or&nbsp;psychosis&nbsp;) can affect the treatment effect of cabergoline if taken at the same time as Cabergoline Teva.&nbsp;The treating physician therefore needs to be aware of such concomitant medication.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other drugs such as&nbsp;other ergot alkaloids, antiemetics (metoclopramide) and&nbsp;macrolide&nbsp;antibiotics&nbsp;(eg erythromycin) may affect the efficacy and sensitivity of Cabergoline Teva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before using this medicine.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pregnancy<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is only limited experience with the use of Cabergoline Teva during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are planning to become pregnant, treatment with Cabergoline Teva should be stopped one month before you intend to become pregnant.&nbsp;Therefore, consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant before starting treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start taking Cabergoline Teva, make sure you are not pregnant.&nbsp;In addition, you should avoid becoming pregnant for at least one month after stopping treatment with Cabergoline Teva.&nbsp;Effective non-hormonal contraceptives should be used, discuss the choice of contraceptive method with your doctor.&nbsp;If you are being treated with Cabergoline Teva and become pregnant during this time, you should stop treatment and contact your doctor as soon as possible.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Breast-feeding<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not known if cabergoline turns into breast milk.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Cabergoline Teva will prevent you from producing breast milk for your baby, you should not take Cabergoline Teva if you are planning to breast-feed.&nbsp;If you need to take Cabergoline Teva, feed your baby in a different way.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Fertility<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Infertility can be reversed in women taking Cabergoline Teva, and pregnancy may occur before the menstrual cycle normalizes.&nbsp;(see section Warnings and Precautions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cabergoline Teva can impair the reactivity of some people, which should be considered at times when sharper attention is required, e.g.&nbsp;while driving and precision work.&nbsp;<br>Cabergoline Teva can cause&nbsp;somnolence&nbsp;(pronounced fatigue) and sudden sleep attacks.&nbsp;The person affected by this should therefore not drive or participate in activities where reduced attention may lead to a risk of serious injury (eg use of machinery) until the&nbsp;somnolence&nbsp;and sleep attacks have disappeared.&nbsp;If you are affected, consult your doctor.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires increased vigilance.&nbsp;One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and \/ or&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;.&nbsp;Descriptions of these effects and&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;can be found in other sections.&nbsp;Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.&nbsp;If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cabergoline Teva contains lactose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before taking this medicine.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

patients get some form of side effect.&nbsp;The most common are low&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;, dizziness and headaches.&nbsp;In the treatment of elevated prolactin levels,&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;are more common, as the tablets are taken for a longer period of time.&nbsp;About 70 out of 100 patients then get&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;, but the&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;usually disappear or subside after
