There is one exact (name or code) match for bromocriptine

 
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.

Methylergometrine (other names include methylergonovine, methylergobasin, methergine, and D-lysergic acid 1-butanolamide) is a synthetic analogue of ergonovine, a psychedelic alkaloid found in ergot, and many species of morning glory. In general, the effects of all the ergot alkaloids appear to results from their actions as partial agonists or antagonists at adrenergic, dopaminergic, and tryptaminergic receptors. The spectrum of effects depends on the agent, dosage, species, tissue, and experimental or physiological conditions. All of the alkaloids of ergot significantly increase the motor activity of the uterus. After small doses contractions are increased in force or frequency, or both, but are followed by a normal degree of relaxation. As the dose is increased, contractions become more forceful and prolonged, resting tonus is markedly increased, and sustained contracture can result. Methylergometrine acts directly on the smooth muscle of the uterus and increases the tone, rate, and amplitude of rhythmic contractions through binding and the resultant antagonism of the dopamine D1 receptor. Thus, it induces a rapid and sustained tetanic uterotonic effect which shortens the third stage of labor and reduces blood loss. Methylergometrine is used for the prevention and control of excessive bleeding following vaginal childbirth.

Domperidone is a peripherally selective D2 receptor antagonist. It acts as an antiemetic and a prokinetic agent through its effects on the chemoreceptor trigger zone and motor function of the stomach and small intestine. Domperidone was not approved in USA due to risks of cardiac arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, and sudden death, but is available in other countries. However, FDA allows access to Domperidone through an expanded access investigational new drug application (IND) to patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease with upper GI symptoms, gastroparesis, and chronic constipation. As an “off-label” use, domperidone is prescribed to breastfeeding women to enhance their milk production.
