Dear Editor, Hyperprolactinemia was found to be prevalent in a multi-centred study of 402 patients with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder and schizophreniform disorder treated with conventional antipsychotics and Risperidone.1 Antipsychotics inhibit the dopamine receptors and induce hyperprolactinemia via the tubulo-infundibular pathway, with subsequent downstream effects on multiple syst...

Hyperprolactinemia is one of the major adverse effects of antipsychotic agents. Although it is predominantly associated with the use of conventional or typical agents, atypical agents also cause varying degrees of hyperprolactinemia. Clinical manifestations, which tend to be underrecognized, are the result of the direct action of prolactin on its target tissues and of the sequelae of hypogonadi...

Hyperprolactinemia has a number of etiologies, including physiological, pathological and pharmacological causes. Hyperprolactinemia is frequently associated with the use of certain medications. Patients using medications known to cause hyperprolactinemia generally develop a mild form of the condition, and the prolactin level rarely exceeds 100 ng/mL in these cases.

Leslie et al studied 55 women with typical hyperprolactinemia and reported that symptoms of typical hyperprolactinemia were uncommon. Vallette-Kasic et al examined 106 patients with macroprolactinemia and found that 61% had normal menstruation and ...
