Model clinical-pharmacological article 1

Pharmacotherapy. Combined drug, normalizes the content of sex hormones. The active component of the drug is prutnjak, whose dopaminergic effect reduces the production of prolactin (eliminates hyperprolactinemia), increasing the concentration of which reduces the secretion of gonadotropins, as a result of which there may be irregularities in the maturation of follicles, ovulation and in the stage of functioning of the yellow body. The resulting imbalance between the content of estradiol and progesterone leads to various violations of the menstrual cycle, as well as to mastodynia. Prolactin, having a direct stimulating effect on the proliferative processes in the mammary glands, increases the formation of connective tissue and causes the expansion of the milk ducts. Reducing the content of prolactin leads to the reverse development of pathological processes in the mammary glands and eliminates the pain syndrome. Rhythmic development and normalization of the ratio of gonadotropic hormones leads to the normalization of the second phase of the menstrual cycle.

Indication. Violations of the menstrual cycle associated with malnutrition of the yellow body, mastodynia, premenstrual syndrome.
