Bromocriptine (INN; trade names Parlodel, Cycloset, Brotin (Pakistan)), an ergoline derivative, is a dopamine agonist that is used in the treatment of pituitary tumors, Parkinson's disease (PD), hyperprolactinaemia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. == Indications == Amenorrhea, female infertility, galactorrhea, hypogonadism, and acromegaly may all be caused by pituitary problems, such as hyperprolactinaemia, and therefore, these problems may be treated with this drug. Bromocriptine has completely treated gestational macromastia eliminating the need for reduction surgery, in a recent case. It has also been used in treating nonpuerperal mastitis. Since the late 1980s it has been used, off-label, to reduce the symptoms of cocaine withdrawal.〔AJ Giannini, P Baumgartel, LR DiMarzio. Bromocriptine therapy in cocaine withdrawal. J. Clinical Pharmacology. 27: 267-270,1987.〕〔FS Tenant, AA Sagherian. Double-blind comparison of amantadine hydrochloride and bromocriptine mesylate for ambulatory withdrawal from cocaine dependence. Archives of General Medicine. 147: 109-112,1987.〕 In 2009, bromocriptine mesylate was approved by the FDA for treatment of type 2 diabetes under the trade name Cycloset (VeroScience). It is currently unknown how this drug improves glycemic control, but it has been shown to reduce HbA1c by ~0.5 percentage points.
