Abstract

A 33-year-old woman who had had amenorrhoea and galactorrhoea for ten years and had hyperprolactinaemia was treated with metergoline, a serotonin antagonist. There was a marked decrease in plasma prolactin levels. After two months, ovulation and pregnancy occurred. This is the first such report.
