True regarding the use of bromocriptine for suppression of lactation include:: (A) It can cause deep vein thrombosis, (B) It can cause hypotension, (C) Metoclopramide potentiates the action of Bromocriptine, (D) It is given for 1 week only
Answer is B. For suppression of lactation, D2 agonists like bromocriptine can be used. In hyperprolactinemia, these are given for long periods.
Metoclopramide being a D2 antagonist will stop the action of bromocriptine.
Adverse effects of bromocriptine include nausea, vomiting, postural hypotension, digital vasospasm and CNS effects like hallucinations, psychosis etc.
