Dopamine agonists
Dopamine agonists may suppress growth hormone secretion in patients with acromegaly and some growth hormone-secreting adenomas may co-secrete prolactin. These drugs are often used in conjunction with somatostatin analogues for an additive suppressive effect when biochemical cure is not achieved with somatostatin analogues alone. Dopamine agonists alone are rarely effective in the treatment of acromegaly.
