Cabergoline and Pramipexole Interaction

Avoid
Researched 95% confidence

Cabergoline and Pramipexole have a potentially harmful interaction with 95% confidence. Do not combine pramipexole with cabergoline or other dopamine agonists. Using two dopamine agonists simultaneously is redundant and significantly increases the risk of excessive dopaminergic stimulation, leading to severe nausea, orthostatic hypotension, impulse control disorders, and potential psychiatric effects. Choose one dopamine agonist and use it at an appropriate dose. Both compounds affect the gonads and pituitary, so monitoring these systems is recommended.

Compound Profiles

Cabergoline

Dopamine Agonist | Prolactin Management

Cabergoline exerts its effects by acting as a potent agonist at dopamine D2 receptors on lactotroph cells in the anterior pituitary gland. Prolactin secretion is tonically inhibited by hypothalamic dopamine acting on these D2 receptors, and cabergoline mimics this inhibitory signal with high affinity and prolonged duration.

Half-life: ~63-69 hours Typical dose: 0.25-0.5mg twice weekly (bodybuilding); 0.5-1mg twice weekly (medical) pct, sexual health

Pramipexole

Dopamine Agonist | Prolactin Management Alternative

Pramipexole exerts its prolactin-suppressing effects by acting as a full agonist at dopamine D2 and D3 receptors, with a marked preference for the D3 subtype. In the anterior pituitary, prolactin secretion by lactotroph cells is tonically inhibited by hypothalamic dopamine acting on D2 receptors.

Half-life: ~8 hours Typical dose: 0.25-0.5mg daily at bedtime (start at 0.125mg and titrate slowly) pct
