This medicine can also be used to manage other conditions such as acromegaly (a disorder causing excessive growth hormone production), Parkinson's disease (a brain disorder affecting movement), type 2 diabetes mellitus (as an additional treatment), and to stop breast milk production when needed. Each of these conditions benefits from the medicine's ability to regulate hormone levels or improve brain function.
