Cabergoline and Brain herniation - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Brain herniation is reported as a side effect among people who take Cabergoline (cabergoline), especially for people who are male, 50-59 old, also take Hydrocortisone, and have Prolactin-producing pituitary tumor.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Brain herniation when taking Cabergoline. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 5,946 people who have side effects when taking Cabergoline from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
