Canadian pharmacy listings in our data show Bromocriptine Mesylate priced from about $1.85 per tablet (converted to USD), before shipping. Pack size and pharmacy both affect the final total — see the Canada pricing table for specifics.
Why does Bromocriptine Mesylate cost more in one country than the other?
Drug pricing is set separately in each country through different negotiation, regulatory, and distribution systems, so the same medication can legitimately carry different price tags on either side of the border. In this case, our data shows the US price is actually the lower of the two once a program like Cost Plus Drugs is factored in — the assumption that Canada is always cheaper doesn't hold for every drug.
Is Bromocriptine covered by Medicare, and what is the typical cost?
Bromocriptine is generally a covered medication under Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage prescription drug plans. The copay amount for beneficiaries varies depending on the specific plan's formulary and coverage phase. To potentially reduce your out-of-pocket expense, you can present a pharmacy savings card at participating pharmacies, which may lower your cost significantly from the full retail price.
What is the brand-name version of Bromocriptine?
Bromocriptine is the generic name for the medication. The original brand-name product is called Parlodel. Generic bromocriptine is manufactured by several pharmaceutical companies, including Mylan, Perrigo, and Ranbaxy.
What conditions does Bromocriptine treat?
Bromocriptine is a dopamine agonist prescribed for several disorders. It is primarily used to treat hyperprolactinemia, a condition of elevated prolactin hormone levels. This imbalance can cause symptoms like missed periods, infertility, unexpected breast milk production in women, and decreased libido or erectile dysfunction in men. It is also effective for treating prolactin-secreting pituitary tumors. Additionally, bromocriptine is used, sometimes alongside surgery or radiation, to manage acromegaly caused by excess growth hormone. Finally, it helps control symptoms of Parkinson's disease, such as tremors, stiffness, and slowed movement, and can reduce episodes of immobility known as "on-off" syndrome. This medication is not suitable for everyone; individuals with uncontrolled high blood pressure, pregnancy-related hypertension (preeclampsia/eclampsia), or a history of severe heart disease postpartum should discuss alternative treatments with their doctor.
