General Description

Ergocryptine methanesulfonate is a synthetic version of the alkaloid ergotamine, which is derived from the ergot fungus that grows on rye. It is a dopamine agonist and works by binding to dopamine receptors in the brain, leading to the inhibition of prolactin secretion. This can be useful in treating conditions such as hyperprolactinemia, which is characterized by abnormally high levels of prolactin in the blood. Ergocryptine methanesulfonate is available in tablet form and is often used in combination with other medications to treat conditions such as pituitary tumors and certain menstrual disorders. It is important to use this medication only as directed by a healthcare professional, as it can have potential side effects and interactions with other medications.
