Department of Internal Medicine, Tokai University School of Medicine, Isehara, Japan. A case of Cushing's disease is reported. The administration of bromocriptine was extremely effective in reducing excessive adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol in the blood, which were previously not suppressed by 8 mg dexamethasone and persisted even after removal of the ACTH-producing adenoma in the hypophysis.

Guest Posted July 6, 2001 Report Share Posted July 6, 2001 Mary O, Thanks, I do appreciate you posting this for me. I just thought if anyone else was on this type of med, maybe it could interfer with the both the blood and 24 hour urine tests as well as the acth tests. I appreciate you posting this for me.
