Hi

The best treatment for a pituitary microadenoma is Cabergoline which you are taking. If side effects are a problem, other drugs like Bromicriptine are also an option but they are also not free from side effects. can you share the specific side effects which you are having so that we can prescribe the right treatment for the side effects.

With Regards
