Effects of thyrotropin-releasing hormone and metoclopramide in patients with phenothiazine-induced hyperprolactinemia

H V Lankford et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 1981 Jul.

Abstract

TRH and metoclopramide tests were performed in 10 female patients with presumed phenothiazine-induced hyperprolactinemia to define the serum PRL response to these agents. Our results show that the serum PRL response to metoclopramide is blunted in most patients with phenothiazine-induced hyperprolactinemia, and the serum PRL response to TRH is exaggerated in most patients during and 3 weeks after stopping phenothiazines.
