Question: Hello docI was diagnosed of high prolactinhave been place on bromegon and folic acidthe result of the test is 310ngmlreference H 34241have been taking the drugs now close to a monthmy question is how will I know my prolactin has been normalizedback to normal or should  continue taking the drugs
Answer: Hi 

Your serum prolactin result shows a moderate elevation You are expected to take the drugs for up to 68 weeks and repeat the test a few times to show if there is a consistent drop in the level of prolactin Based on the result your doctor might make some changes to your medications 

So to answer your specific question you will have to repeat the test but meanwhile please continue your medication and speak to your doctor if you have any side effects or concerns 

It is important to note that elevated prolactin maybe as a result of many things therefore you might be expected to carry out additional tests to confirm the cause 

Cheers
