The dose of
Cycloset™ (
bromocriptine mesylate) that your healthcare provider recommends will vary depending on a number of factors, including:

As is always the case, do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
Cycloset Dosing for Diabetes
Cycloset is usually started with a low dosage, and the dosage is gradually increased. The recommended starting dose is 0.8 mg (one tablet) once daily in the morning, within two hours of waking.
Once a week, your healthcare provider may increase your dosage by one tablet until you reach the maximum number of tablets you can tolerate (usually up to a maximum of six tablets per day). All the tablets for the day should be taken all at once at the same time, within two hours of waking.
