Description
Bromocriptine is a medication that plays a significant role in the management of several health conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, prolactinoma (prolactin-secreting tumors), type 2 diabetes, and certain conditions caused by high levels of the hormone prolactin. It belongs to a class of drugs known as dopamine receptor agonists, which work by activating dopamine receptors in the brain. This activation can decrease the production of prolactin in cases of prolactinoma and improve motor control in Parkinson’s disease by simulating the action of dopamine. Bromocriptine is available in oral forms, such as tablets and capsules, and should be taken as prescribed by a healthcare professional.
