Cabergoline Ergot alkaloids

Contraindications Hypersensifivify to cabergoline, ergot alkaloids or any one of its components. 

The ergot alkaloids are variably absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The oral dose of ergotamine is about 10 times larger than the intramuscular dose, but the speed of absorption and peak blood levels after oral administration can be improved by administration with caffeine (see below). The amine alkaloids are also absorbed from the rectum and the buccal cavity and after administration by aerosol inhaler. Absorption after intramuscular injection is slow but usually reliable. Bromocriptine and cabergoline are well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.
