[Effect of pretreatment with metoclopramide on plasma prolactin response to methergoline].
The Authors examined 20 voluntary women without endocrine diseases. The women took 4 mg of metergoline orally and 30-60-90-120-180-240 minutes after the medicament was given the serum prolactin levels were tested. After 3 weeks, 14 among 20 subjects repeated the test assuming during the 3 days before 50 mg of metoclopramide orally once a day. The Authors found a remarkable decline of prolactin serum levels after metergoline administration in all subjects. After metoclopramide administration prolactin serum levels increased meaningly. Metergoline administration gave again considerable fall of prolactin serum levels in the 14 subjects. From the data the Authors affirm that metergoline inhibits prolactin secretion with an antiserotonine action
