Pharmacol Rep . The aim was to formulate practice guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hyperprolactinemia. Past psychotropic medications that have been discontinued due to adverse effects include ziprasidone (mild abnormal lip movement), olanzapine (ineffective and drowsy), valproic acid (tremor and abdominal discomfort), lithium (rash), and aripiprazole (increased fasting blood sugar and labile mood).At her appointment today, Ms. E says she is concerned because she has been experiencing galactorrhea for the past 4 weeks. The main function of prolactin is to stimulate breast milk production after childbirth, so high prolactin levels are normal in pregnancy. Hyperprolactinemia is a condition in which a person has higher-than-normal levels of the hormone prolactin in the blood. This topic will review the major issues concerning the therapy of hyperprolactinemia due to lactotroph adenomas and other causes, with the exception of treatment during pregnancy, which is discussed separately.

However, a repeat prolactin level is obtained, and is found to be elevated at 38 ng/mL.Prolactin, a polypeptide hormone that is secreted from the pituitary gland, has many functions, including involvement in the synthesis and maintenance of breast milk production, in reproductive behavior, and in luteal function.Hyperprolactinemia is diagnosed by a prolactin concentration above the upper reference range.Antipsychotics, antidepressants, hormonal preparations, antihypertensives, and gastrointestinal agents have been associated with hyperprolactinemia (Antipsychotics are the most common medication-related cause of hyperprolactinemia.1.
