Argolin Tablet contains Carbagoline 0.5mg, an ergot medication that acts as a dopamine agonist. It’s primarily used to treat high levels of prolactin hormone in the body.

How It Works
Carbagoline in Argolin acts as a dopamine receptor agonist. It stimulates dopamine receptors in the pituitary gland, which inhibits the secretion of prolactin. This mechanism helps normalize prolactin levels and addresses related symptoms and conditions.
