Gynodel (Bromocriptine) can be used to treat Parkinson's disease. The cause of Parkinson's disease is still unknown, but it results in there being less of a chemical in the brain called dopamine. This lack of dopamine causes the symptoms of Parkinsonism such as shaking, stiffness and loss of muscle control. Bromocriptine encourages the release of dopamine, relieving these symptoms. It may be used alone or in combination with other medicines to treat Parkinson's disease.
Bromocriptine can also prevent the production of a chemical called prolactin. Prolactin is involved in many processes within the body, such as milk production after childbirth, and it affects the levels of the hormones involved with controlling the menstrual cycle and fertility. Bromocriptine is therefore helpful in preventing or reducing milk production for medical reasons, treating some types of infertility, breast problems and menstrual problems.
Bromocriptine also affects the production of growth hormone and has sometimes been used for the treatment of conditions such as acromegaly, a disease which causes enlargement of the hands, feet and face.
