Drugs effect on AN
« on: January 27, 2009, 10:22:07 am »
Hi have an 2.2 cm AN treated with CK in 2004, but it's slowly growing.
I suspect that responsible of the growth could be a drug that I have to take: Dostinex (cabergoline, a dopamine receptor).
There is somebody that took ar take the same drug?

Hi and welcome.  I am not aware of any particular drug affect on AN's... there has been discussions in the past about estrogen and the possible correlation of its affect on AN's but I, personally have not heard anything more.

You noted you had CK a few years ago. What size was it at time of treatment vs. it's size now? Where was your CK done?

Again, welcome!

I have a patient/friend who was taking Dostinex for a pituitary tumor, and developed sudden idiopathic SSD. Never thought there was a connection, but who knows.

I had my CK in Milan in 2004, the max diameter of the tumor was 1,8 cm (volume 2,2 cm3), now is 2,2 (perhaps more)... I have to go wit microsurgery.
