Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2009/020866lbl.pdf | https://www.drugs.com/mtm/bromocriptine.html

Bromocriptine is an ergot derivative with potent dopamine receptor agonist activity, which activates post-synaptic dopamine receptors. Bromocriptine is indicated for the treatment of dysfunctions associated with hyperprolactinemia. Bromocriptine therapy is indicated in the treatment of acromegaly and in the treatment of the signs and symptoms of idiopathic or postencephalitic Parkinson’s disease. It is approved as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Some commonly reported adverse reactions include nausea, fatigue, dizziness, vomiting and headache. Bromocriptine may interact with dopamine antagonists, butyrophenones and certain other agents.

Bromocriptine mesylate tablets treatment is indicated in patients with prolactin-secreting adenomas, which may be the basic underlying endocrinopathy contributing to the above clinical presentations. Reduction in tumor size has been demonstrated in both male and female patients with macroadenomas. In cases where adenectomy is elected, a course of bromocriptine mesylate tablets therapy may be used to reduce the tumor mass prior to surgery. Acromegaly Bromocriptine mesylate tablets therapy is indicated in the treatment of acromegaly. Bromocriptine mesylate tablets therapy, alone or as adjunctive therapy with pituitary irradiation or surgery, reduces serum growth hormone by 50% or more in approximately ½ of patients treated, although not usually to normal levels. Since the effects of external pituitary radiation may not become maximal for several years, adjunctive therapy with bromocriptine mesylate tablets offers potential benefit before the effects of irradiation are manifested. Parkinson's Disease Bromocriptine mesylate tablets are indicated in the treatment of the signs and symptoms of idiopathic or postencephalitic Parkinson's disease. As adjunctive treatment to levodopa (alone or with a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor), bromocriptine mesylate tablets therapy may provide additional therapeutic benefits in those patients who are currently maintained on optimal dosages of levodopa, those who are beginning to deteriorate (develop tolerance) to levodopa therapy, and those who are experiencing end of dose failure on levodopa therapy. Bromocriptine mesylate tablets therapy may permit a reduction of the maintenance dose of levodopa and, thus may ameliorate the occurrence and/or severity of adverse reactions associated with long-term levodopa therapy such as abnormal involuntary movements (e.g., dyskinesias) and the marked swings in motor function (on-off phenomenon). Continued efficacy of bromocriptine mesylate tablets therapy during treatment of more than 2 years has not been established. Data are insufficient to evaluate potential benefit from treating newly diagnosed Parkinson's disease with bromocriptine mesylate tablets. Studies have shown, however, significantly more adverse reactions (notably nausea, hallucinations, confusion and hypotension) in bromocriptine mesylate treated patients than in levodopa/carbidopa treated patients. Patients unresponsive to levodopa are poor candidates for bromocriptine mesylate tablets therapy. Launch Date 1978

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Type 2 diabetes mellitus: Initial dose is one tablet (0.8 mg) daily increased weekly by one tablet until maximal tolerated daily dose of 1.6 to 4.8 mg is achieved. Hyperprolactinemic Indications: The initial dosage in adults is ½ to one 2½ mg scored tablet daily. An additional 2½ mg tablet may be added to the treatment regimen as tolerated every 2-7 days until an optimal therapeutic response is achieved. The therapeutic dosage ranged from 2.5-15 mg daily in adults studied clinically. Parkinson’s Disease: The initial dose is ½ of a 2½ mg twice daily with meals. Assessments are advised at 2-week intervals during dosage titration to ensure that the lowest dosage producing an optimal therapeutic response is not exceeded. If necessary, the dosage may be increased every 14-28 days by 2½ mg/day with meals.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

Bromocriptine has been shown to augment glutamate uptake at a concentration of 10 uM in HeLaS3 cells that stably express EAAT1, the human homolog of GLAST. Therefore, it was evaluated whether bromocriptine affects D-[3 H]aspartate uptake in HEK293/EcR cells expressing EAAT2. However, bromocriptine failed to alter D-[3 H]aspartate uptake at concentrations as high as 30 uM, suggesting that bromocriptine has little or no effect on the excitatory amino acid uptake via EAAT2.
