Cycloset (bromocriptine 0.8 mg tab) is indicated to treat type 2 diabetes. Initial dose is 0.8 mg once daily, with maintenance doses ranging up to 4.8 mg daily. Cycloset should be interchanged to the generic bromocriptine tablet in approximately equal dosage regimens ( either 2.5 mg or 5 mg once daily). The 0.8 mg dose is for initiation only and should be deferred to the outpatient setting. Alternatively, patients may use their own supply.
