Trazodone intravenously administered and plasma prolactin levels

Int Pharmacopsychiatry. 1979;14(5):260-3. doi: 10.1159/000468388.

Abstract

Plasma prolactin levels during intravenous Trazodone infusion have been evaluated. Although the modifications were not statistically significant, a slight decrease of plasma prolactin levels was noted. This result suggests that Trazodone has no remarkable effect on hypothalamic function.
