Hi, i have copied this from the drugs.com website, i don't know if you have looked here already? This is the information you need about side effects. There is no information about this drug being linked with cancer.

The incidence of adverse effects is quite high (69%) but these are generally mild to moderate in degree. Therapy was discontinued in approximately 5% of patients because of adverse effects. These in decreasing order of frequency are: nausea (49%), headache (19%), dizziness (17%), fatigue (7%), lightheadedness (5%), vomiting (5%), abdominal cramps (4%), nasal congestion (3%), constipation (3%), diarrhea (3%) and drowsiness (3%).

Well, my endocrinologist who put me on bromocryptin said that it will reduce the size of my prolactinoma. It was a pituitary tumour but it was not malignant. I say "was" because I hope it has gone away. I'll find out if the treatment is working sometime in January (2011) when I get my MRI results.
