Terguride

Terguride (also known as Lisuride Hydrogen Maleate) is a medication used in the treatment of hyperprolactinemia, Parkinson's disease, and migraine. It is a derivative of ergot, a fungus that grows on rye.

Pharmacology

Terguride acts as an agonist at serotonin receptors and an antagonist at dopamine receptors. It is particularly effective at the D2 subtype of dopamine receptors, which are prevalent in the pituitary gland. This makes it effective in reducing levels of prolactin, a hormone that stimulates milk production.

Uses

Terguride is used in the treatment of hyperprolactinemia, a condition characterized by excessive production of prolactin. It can also be used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and migraine.

Side Effects

Common side effects of terguride include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and dizziness. In rare cases, it can cause hallucinations or psychosis.
