Cabergoline, the active ingredient in Dostinex 0.5 mg tablet, is a dopamine receptor agonist. It works by mimicking the action of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Dopamine inhibits the secretion of prolactin, a hormone that stimulates milk production in the mammary glands. By activating dopamine receptors, cabergoline reduces the production and release of prolactin, helping to normalize hormonal levels.
