It sounds like he had a large prolactinoma.
The treatment with medicine is very effective and he must continue the carbegoline.
Other hormones that are low should be corrected.
The medication is unlikely related to the behavior changes.
It is not clear to me in you question if he has a tumor.
Carbegoline does not replace hydrocortisone.
Carbegoline is the treatment for prolactinomas, a type of pituitary adenoma. Hydrocortisone is a steroid.
hi my son as got some tumour left behind after his surgery in june apparently it is in too dangerous a place (around the blood vessels to his brain) to be operated on, I dont have much information on his hormone levels I think his prolactin levels were 9000 he as not yet had any growth hormone treatment or any testesterone prescribed as the doctors are deciding in the new year, i hope this information will help a little here in the uk we dont seem to get as much information as the states from our doctors it is a bit of a closed shop thanks
hi what i really need to know is there any link to his behavour and his condition
