Indication Dosage

Bromocriptine is a medication used to treat certain health conditions, such as:

1. High Prolactin Levels: It helps lower high levels of a hormone called prolactin, which can cause issues like irregular periods, fertility problems, and breast milk production in men and women when it's too high.
2. Parkinson's Disease: Bromocriptine can also be used to manage the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, a condition that affects movement and muscle control.
3. Acromegaly: In some cases, it's used to treat a rare condition called acromegaly, where the body produces too much growth hormone, leading to abnormal growth of tissues.
