|
Bromocriptine: (first ergot that was truly DA selective)
|
Amino Acid
-Used in Hyperprolactinemia (DA inhibits prolactin secretion), Parkinsons, and Acromegaly -This is a DA D2 Rc Agonist, so it inhibits prolactin secretion, replaces lost DA in Parkinson’s patient, and lowers blood levels of growth hormone in patients w/ acromegaly. |
|
|
Pergolide:
|
Atypical
-Similar to Bromocriptine, selective for D2 and Serotonin, but 1000x more potent than Bromocriptine. -Indicated for adjunct treatment of levodopa/carbidopa in management of Parkinson’s -DA Rcs agonist at D1 and D2 Rcs, stimulates DA Rcs in Nigrostriatal System |
|
|
Cabergoline
|
Atypical
-Indicated for hyperprolactinemia disorders -Agonist at DA D2 Rcs, more selective than Bromocriptine and Pergolide. |
