Description:

Cabergoline is a derivative of Ergoline, with a strong, selective and long–lasting inhibitory effect on prolactin secretion. Prolactin is a key hormone for lactogenesis and for initiating and maintaining lactation after calving. In addition, the etiology of false pregnancy is currently considered to be mediated by prolactin levels and stimulated by the increase in progesterone levels that fall within the time of metoestrus.
Lactation suppression in the may be necessary under certain clinical conditions, for example, after the elimination of puppies shortly after calving, or after early weaning.
Inhibition of prolactin secretion helps to quickly cease lactation and reduce the size of the mammary glands.
