18 Jun 2010	I had a pituitary tumor and I was prescribed this medication. I was very satisfied with the results because it shrunk the tumor and my menstrual cycle started again, which was a relief. —Posted by Kandi Moreau Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...
