Because of the frequent side effects found with oral bromocriptine, we created two formulas of vaginal bromocriptine suppositories to compare with vaginal application of bromocriptine tablets. The formula containing bromocriptine and a releasing agent (Pluronic F127) showed an increased dissolution rate, 39-fold greater than that of the pure drug alone, and subsequently was effective in lowering serum prolactin.
