Used primarily in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease to help control movement symptoms by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain. Also prescribed for hyperprolactinemia, a condition where the body produces excess prolactin hormone, helping to normalize hormone levels and restore menstrual cycles or fertility. Employed in managing symptoms of prolactin-secreting tumors (prolactinomas) by reducing tumor size and prolactin secretion. Additionally used in type 2 diabetes to improve glycemic control, particularly in patients with insulin resistance, due to its effects on central nervous system pathways regulating metabolism. Sometimes utilized off-label for conditions like acromegaly or neuroleptic-induced hyperprolactinemia.
