CABERGOLINE Lifestyle Interactions

  • Cabergoline 0.5mg, Oral tablet

    • Interaction: Tobacco
    • Severity: Mild
    • Notes for Consumers: In theory, side effects from Cabergoline may potentially get worse if you take Nicotine (examples: Nicotine patches or gum) or if you smoke tobacco. Contact your health care provider if you notice any changes in your blood pressure or other effects while taking Cabergoline with Nicotine-containing products.
    • Notes for Professionals: In theory, concurrent use of vasoconstrictors, such as nicotine, with cabergoline may result in enhanced vasoconstriction. Nicotine acts indirectly as a sympathomimetic agent by releasing catecholamines, potentially resulting in effects such as hypertension, which may be additive with ergot derivatives such as cabergoline. Use of the ergot derivative bromocriptine with some sympathomimetics has resulted in adverse effects such as worsening headache, hypertension, ventricular tachycardia, seizures, sudden loss of vision, and cerebral vasospasm. Caution is advisable during use of tobacco or other nicotine-containing products while taking cabergoline.
