| Cabergoline |
Cabergoline is a dopaminergic ergoline derivative endowed with a potent and long-lasting PRL-lowering activity. |
|
| Quinagolide |
Quinagolide is a selective dopamine D2-receptor agonist not belonging to the chemical classes of ergot or ergoline compounds. Owing to its dopaminergic action, the drug exerts a strong inhibitory effect on the secretion of the anterior pituitary hormone prolactin, but does not reduce normal levels of other pituitary hormones. |
