GlossaryDopamine Agonists

medications that mimic dopamine by stimulating its brain receptors

Dopamine agonists, also known as dopamine receptor agonists or DA agonists, are medications that mimic the action of dopamine by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain. They are commonly used to treat conditions like Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome by compensating for low dopamine levels, thereby improving symptoms such as motor control and mood.
