Bromocriptine works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain. This action helps to enhance dopaminergic transmission, which can improve motor control in Parkinson's disease and reduce prolactin secretion in conditions of hyperprolactinemia.

Typical Dosing

  • For Parkinson's disease: The usual starting dose is 1.25 mg taken once daily, which may be gradually increased based on clinical response, with a typical maximum dose of 100 mg per day.
  • For hyperprolactinemia: The usual starting dose is 1.25 mg taken once daily, with gradual increases as needed.
