What are the clinical criteria for choosing Bromocriptine over other dopamine agonists in treating conditions like hyperprolactinemia or Parkinson’s disease?
Bromocriptine is preferred if a patient has a history of impulse control disorders, as it has a lower risk compared to other dopamine agonists.
1. Bromocriptine is preferred for patients intolerant to newer agonists or seeking a less expensive option.
2. Chosen due to its effectiveness in cases resistant to other treatments and safety in pregnancy.
3. Often used when patients experience side effects with newer dopamine agonists.
