In this series of cases, drugs represented the 39.4% of the causes of hyperprolactinemia. The most common drugs were OCPs in women and antipsychotics/antidepressants in men. Antidepressants/antipsychotics were drugs that caused the greatest elevation of the prolactin levels and showed hyperprolactinemia-related symptoms more frequently.
