Partial effect of bromocriptine on lactose and galactose synthesis in a pregnant woman heterozygous for galactosaemia

J Inherit Metab Dis. 2001 Aug;24(4):507-8. doi: 10.1023/a:1010537831567.

Abstract

Bromocriptine combined with galactose restriction in the matenal diet seems to be partially effective in decreasing endogenous lactose and galactose synthesis, monitored in a pregnant woman heterozygous for galactosaemia at risk of producing a homozygous infant.
