The following safety and warning information is crucial for anyone considering or currently using bromocriptine (Parlodel). Please read carefully and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.

• Use During Pregnancy and Postpartum: There is limited data on the safety of bromocriptine during pregnancy. Rare cases of severe high blood pressure, heart attacks, seizures, and stroke have been reported in postpartum individuals using this medication.

• Drowsiness and Sudden Sleep: Bromocriptine may cause drowsiness, especially in Parkinson's disease patients, and can occasionally lead to unexpected sleep episodes. Refrain from driving or engaging in activities requiring full attention until you understand how this medication affects you. Extra caution is advised for those with a history of sleep issues or who are taking other sedatives. Report excessive daytime sleepiness or sleep during activities to your healthcare provider.

• Blood Pressure Changes: This medication can cause blood pressure fluctuations. Initially, you might experience low blood pressure, presenting as fatigue, dizziness, vision changes, or faintness. This is particularly a risk for those with uncontrolled blood pressure, those taking blood pressure-altering medications, or recent postpartum individuals.

• Impulsive Behavior: Some users may experience reduced impulse control, leading to urges such as excessive gambling, spending, or eating. If these impulses adversely affect your life, consult your provider about adjusting your dosage or discontinuing use.

• Heart or Lung Fluid Accumulation: Rarely, bromocriptine users may develop unexplained heart or lung issues, indicated by symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, coughing, or irregular heartbeat. Immediate medical attention is necessary if these occur. Risks are higher with long-term or high-dose use.

• Blood Flow Disorders: Users, especially those treating acromegaly, might develop digital vasospasm, causing reduced blood flow to fingers or toes, often triggered by cold. If you experience painful, discolored digits, consult your provider. Lowering the dose and keeping extremities warm may help.

• Uncontrolled high blood pressure
