Bromocriptine
A dopamine receptor agonist derived from ergot, used to treat Parkinson's disease, hyperprolactinemia, and as a unique oral medication for type 2 diabetes. In Parkinson's, it mimics dopamine to improve motor function; in diabetes, it works by resetting circadian metabolic rhythms in the brain. It can also be used to suppress lactation.
