Dostinex Is Cabergoline

Cabergoline - Dostinex

The Technical Specs


Dostinex is a brand name.  Dostinex is one of the brand names for Cabergoline.

DOSTINEX Tablets contain cabergoline, which is the subject of this cabergoline blog and a dopamine receptor agonist. Cabergoline has a chemical name: 1-[(6-allylergolin-8ß-yl)-carbonyl]-1-[3-(dimethylamino) propyl]-3-ethylurea. Its empirical formula is C₂₆H₃₇N₅O₂, and its molecular weight is 451.62. The structural formula of cabergoline is as follows:

Cabergoline is a white powder soluble in ethyl alcohol, chloroform, and N, Ndimethylformamide (DMF); slightly soluble in 0.1N hydrochloric acid; very slightly soluble in n-hexane; and insoluble in water.

DOSTINEX Tablets, for oral administration, contain 0.5 mg of cabergoline. Inactive ingredients consist of leucine, USP, and lactose, NF.

Cabergoline can also come as liquid cabergoline.  You won't see a liquid Dostinex because Dostinex is a brand of cabergoline and they only make it in tablets.

The following paragraphs regarding Dostinex aka cabergoline are from http://www.isteroids.com/steroids/Dostinex-Cabergoline.html Dostinex was originally introduced to the bodybuilding community by the anti-aging crowd. About a decade ago, the only place you could really find this stuff being sold was on mail order lists for various life-extension clinics. Although they are, frankly, a very weird bunch of people, the life-extensionistas were among the first to find and make available a lot of the stuff that eventually found its way into athletic circles, like Dostinex and other such nootropics (drugs that increase mental activity).

Dostinex is one of those drugs. I first saw it on an anti-aging clinic’s price list about a decade ago, and more recently, I saw it being discussed by various people who are “in the know” on the internet. The former fact made it slightly interesting to me, while the latter had exactly the opposite effect. Actually, I first mentioned it in an ancillary article I wrote several years ago, but recently I decided to do some more research on it, and I have to admit, it’s a very interesting drug. Before I explain what it does, I think a discussion of some important hormones and enzymes are in order.

It is very interesting to see Dostinex aka cabergoline showing up in anabolic steroid forums and bodybuilding forums.  I have heard information regarding Dostinex being used in the "anti-aging" crowds but I have never spoken to any people in any of those groups about cabergoline.  I will be looking further in Dostinex / cabergoline usage in these areas in the near future.  I am also curious if college students are using cabergoline for the sexual health enhancements to impress their girlfriends.  I plan to interview some college students from the University of Georgia Athens (UGA) in regards to cabergoline use.
