What is Dopagon

Dopagon guide provides information about the Dopagon brand of Dopagon. Dopagon is another brand of Dopagon that is not covered in Dopagon guide.
The Dopagon brand of Dopagon is used to treat certain conditions caused by a hormone imbalance in which there is too much prolactin in the blood (hyperprolactinemia). Symptoms include lack of sexual development in adolescents. Women may have missed menstrual periods, loss of interest in sex, hot flashes, infertility, or unexpected breast milk production and leakage from the nipples. Men may have enlarged breasts, decreased libido, decreased facial or body hair, and loss of muscle. Dopagon is also used to treat these disorders when they are caused by brain tumors that can produce prolactin.
Dopagon is sometimes used together with surgery or radiation in treating acromegaly, a condition caused by a pituitary gland tumor that produces too much growth hormone. Dopagon is also used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease, such as stiffness, tremors, muscle spasms, and poor muscle control.
Dopagon may also be used for purposes not listed in Dopagon guide.
