Treatment of hyperprolactinemia and associated conditions including galactorrhea, amenorrhea, and other menstrual disorders; inhibition of postpartum lactation; may also be used for Parkinson's disease and migraine prophylaxis.
Lisuride acts as a dopamine agonist by stimulating dopamine D2 receptors in the brain. This suppresses prolactin secretion from the pituitary gland, helping to normalize hormone levels and alleviate symptoms caused by hyperprolactinemia.
Common side effects include nausea, dizziness, headache, and fatigue. May cause hypotension, particularly with initial doses. Contraindicated in patients with cardiovascular disease, psychiatric disorders, and severe hepatic impairment. Avoid alcohol as it may worsen side effects. Use with caution in patients taking other dopamine-affecting medications. Pregnancy category B; should be discontinued if pregnancy occurs.
