Bromocriptine is an ergot derivative with potent dopamine receptor agonist activity, which activates post-synaptic dopamine receptors. Bromocriptine is indicated for the treatment of dysfunctions associated with hyperprolactinemia. Bromocriptine therapy is indicated in the treatment of acromegaly and in the treatment of the signs and symptoms of idiopathic or postencephalitic Parkinson’s disease. It is approved as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Some commonly reported adverse reactions include nausea, fatigue, dizziness, vomiting and headache. Bromocriptine may interact with dopamine antagonists, butyrophenones and certain other agents. — NCATS
