In hyperprolactinemia, bromocriptine may reduce symptoms of menstrual irregularities, infertility, and breast pain. In Parkinson's disease, it helps reduce muscle stiffness and tremors. Bromocriptine may cause side effects such as headache, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. Before starting bromocriptine, tell your doctor about your allergies and current medications. Avoid drinking alcohol as it may increase the side effects of the medication. If you develop serious side effects such as heart problems or vision changes, seek medical attention immediately.
