Abstract
In a sequential study to compare the efficacy of bromocryptine and danazol in the treatment of severe cyclical mastalgia, 70% of patients in both groups were relieved of their symptoms. Patients tended to prefer bromocryptine because of its limited side effects. There was a significant fall in prolactin levels with bromocryptine, but not with danazol.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
