Bromocriptine is a dopamine agonist from the group of ergot derivatives, primarily used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and hormonal disorders such as hyperprolactinemia. It primarily acts by stimulating dopamine D2 receptors and thereby influences neuroendocrine functions. Side effects may include cardiovascular and neurological symptoms, which is why medical supervision is important.
