Bromocriptine is a dopamine agonist medication used to treat conditions associated with excessive prolactin levels and certain neurological and metabolic disorders. It works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps regulate hormone secretion and nerve signaling. Bromocriptine has been used in the management of hyperprolactinemia, Parkinson’s disease, and some menstrual disorders, as well as in specific cases of type 2 diabetes. When used under medical supervision, it can be effective, though possible side effects include nausea, dizziness, and low blood pressure, particularly at the start of treatment.
