AI Article Synopsis
- A 25-year-old woman starts using eletriptan for her severe migraines and experiences oligomenorrhea (irregular menstruation) and galactorrhea (milk production) a month later.
- All other potential causes of elevated prolactin levels were dismissed.
- This case is the first documented instance of hyperprolactinemia linked to eletriptan use, suggesting a possible connection according to the Naranjo probability scale.
Article Abstract
A 25-year-old woman with a severe migraine begins to use a migraine specific agent, eletriptan (40 mg/d). One month later, she had oligomenorrhea and galactorrhea. We ruled out all causes of hyperprolactinemia. To our knowledge, this is the first published postmarketing case report of eletriptan- induced hyperprolactinemia, presented as oligomenorrhea and galactorrhea in a patient. The Naranjo probability scale indicates a probable relationship between hyperprolactinemia and eletriptan therapy.
