For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:

In most indications, irrespective of the final dose, the optimum response with the minimum of side effects is best achieved by gradual introduction of bromocriptine.
The following scheme is suggested: Initially, 1mg to 1.25mg at bed time, increasing after 2 to 3 days to 2mg to 2.5mg at bed time. Dosage may then be increased by 1mg to 2.5mg at 2 to 3 day intervals, until a dosage of 2.5mg twice daily is achieved. Further dosage increments, if necessary, should be added in a similar manner.
Bromocriptine should always be taken with food.
