My horse has been diagnosed with a pituitary gland tumor. My vet has suggested that we try this medication to see if it will help to lower the sugar levels, but I can't find any information on this. |

Hello Annabel,
Parlodel is bromocriptine and this is covered in the article Equine Diseases: Endocrine Disorders: Cushing's Syndrome and Pituitary Tumors.
