Bromocriptine induced pregnancy in two cases of euprolactinemic hypothalamic amenorrhea.
Two euprolactinemic women with hypothalamic amenorrhea, previously unsuccessfully submitted to clomiphene citrate therapy, were treated with bromocriptine. PRL secretion was studied in basal conditions and under dynamic tests: TRH and chlorpromazine. Serum FSH, LH and 17-beta-estradiol were determined before and during the treatment. Both patients conceived, and one delivered a healthy baby at term. Bromocriptine appears to be an effective drug for treating women with hypothalamic amenorrhea, particularly those unresponsive to clomiphene.
