. Secondary amenorrhea, elicited by metoclopamid (Primperan R ) induced hyperprolactinemia, was found in a 24‐year‐old woman. Withdrawal of the drug was followed by normalization of the hyperprolactinemia, as well as the menses. For many years metoclopamid (Primperan R ) has been used for various dyspeptic inconveniences, such as gastroesophageal reflux, ventricular rentention and postoperative tarm‐atom. Well‐known secondary effects are reported to be drowsiness, uneasiness, restlessness and extra‐pyramidal secondary effects in the form of acute dystom. The present case of secondary amenorrhea caused by metoclopamid (Primperan R ) induced hyperprolactinemia has been verified clinically, serologically and by treatment.
