How Does Bromocriptine Work?
Bromocriptine is a dopamine receptor agonist, which means that it binds to and stimulates dopamine receptors. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter (a chemical that transmits signals between nerves). Because the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are caused by low dopamine levels in the brain, bromocriptine can help alleviate Parkinson’s symptoms by acting like dopamine.
