    Bromocriptine, also known by the brand name Parlodel, is a medication that primarily acts as a dopamine agonist. It is used to treat conditions like Parkinson's disease, hyperprolactinemia (high levels of prolactin), and type 2 diabetes. By stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, it helps to reduce the production of prolactin and improve motor function in Parkinson's patients.
