Alpha-ketoglutarate (akg) + Cabergoline
Cabergoline brand name: Dostinex.
We found no known interaction between Alpha-ketoglutarate (akg) and Cabergoline in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.
Alpha-ketoglutarate (akg) and Cabergoline
We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.
No Known Interaction Found
We did not find a documented interaction between Cabergoline and Alpha-ketoglutarate (akg) in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.
Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Alpha-ketoglutarate (akg) at all — not against Cabergoline, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.
If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Cabergoline page
“Cabergoline (Dostinex) works at unusually small doses, often a fraction of a milligram once or twice a week, so anything that keeps part of a tablet from being absorbed can quietly undo prolactin control. That is what the 17 supplements on this list do, and it deserves careful handling.”

Where does our data come from?
- Source: the Natural Medicines (TRC Healthcare) clinical database — the evidence-graded professional reference for herb & supplement interactions. Alpha-ketoglutarate (akg) is not yet covered by that licensed database, so its write-up cites publicly available medical sources directly (see the references below).
- Citation library: 103,510 references behind our interaction content, 65,311 of them resolved to verified PubMed/DOI sources. See every Alpha-ketoglutarate (akg) reference on this page ↓
- Freshness: we automatically re-check this combination every week — this pair was last verified September 20, 2026. The Alpha-ketoglutarate (akg) and Cabergoline records this page draws on were last updated June 22, 2026.
- What “no known interaction” means: no documented interaction in the sources above — not a guarantee of safety. Supplements are studied far less than prescription drugs, so we say exactly what the evidence supports, and nothing more.
About Alpha-ketoglutarate (akg)
What is Alpha-ketoglutarate (akg)?
- Anti-aging and longevity support
- Athletic performance and recovery
- Muscle building
- Bone health
- General metabolic and energy support
Alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG) is a natural molecule in the body's energy-making (Krebs) cycle that is now sold as a supplement, mainly marketed for longevity, exercise, and muscle support. Most human evidence is limited or early, and many popular claims rest on lab or animal studies, so benefits are not well proven. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting it, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a health condition.
Not applicable (a naturally occurring metabolic molecule, made synthetically for supplements) · Capsules, tablets, powders; often as calcium alpha-ketoglutarate (Ca-AKG), arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (AAKG), or ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG)
An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Alpha-ketoglutarate (akg) is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Alpha-ketoglutarate (akg) record says about it on its own.
Alpha-ketoglutarate (akg): dosing
There is no official, established dose of AKG for any health condition.

About Cabergoline
What Is Cabergoline Used For?
Brand name: Dostinex
Cabergoline tablets are used in adults to treat hyperprolactinemic disorders — conditions where the body produces too much prolactin, a hormone made by the pituitary gland. This excess prolactin can cause irregular periods, unwanted breast milk production, and fertility problems.
The cause may be idiopathic (no clear reason found) or due to a pituitary adenoma (a noncancerous tumor on the pituitary gland). Cabergoline is not approved to stop breast milk production after childbirth, and should not be used for that purpose.
Most-Reported Side Effects for Cabergoline
From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (4,839 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.
