As many as 22.5% of subjects with microprolactinoma remained normoprolactinaemic 12 months after DA withdrawal and these subjects stayed in remission for up to 5 years. Significant predictive factors were normalization of MRI prior to discontinuation, and duration of DA treatment. Our findings support intermittent DA withdrawal after a period of normoprolactinaemia, particularly where MRI appearances have normalized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
