Warnings & Precautions:
- Before taking Quinagolide:
- Please consult your doctor if you have ever had any mental illness.
- Quinagolide may cause your blood pressure to drop when you stand up, particularly for the first few days of treatment or following an increase in your dosage.
- This may result in reduced alertness or fainting. To avoid this, stand up slowly from a sitting or lying down position.
- Your doctor will normally check your blood pressure during the first few days of treatment and when increasing your dosage.
- Inform your doctor if you or your family/carer notices that you are developing urges or cravings to behave in ways that are unusual for you and you cannot resist the impulse, drive or temptation to carry out certain activities that could harm yourself or others.
- These are called impulse control disorders and can include behaviours such as addictive gambling, excessive eating or spending, an abnormally high sex drive or an increase in sexual thoughts or feelings.
- Your doctor may need to adjust or stop your dose.
- Tell your doctor if you experience symptoms such as depression, apathy, anxiety, fatigue, sweating or pain after reducing your dose or stopping Quinagolide treatment.

Other medicines and Quinagolide:
- Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken or used any other medicines - even those not prescribed.
- Do not take Quinagolide if you are taking Pipamperone or Sulpiride.
