Gynodel (Bromocriptine) is manufactured by IL-KO, Turkey. This medicine is a dopamine agonist used to treat menstrual and infertility disorders, and to treat Parkinson's disease. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
It is recommended that Gynodel(Bromocriptine) be taken with food. Patients should be evaluated frequently during dose escalation to determine the lowest dosage that produces a therapeutic response.
Acromegaly
Gynodel (Bromocriptine) therapy is indicated in the treatment of acromegaly. Gynodel (Bromocriptine) therapy, alone or as adjunctive therapy with pituitary irradiation or surgery, reduces serum growth hormone by 50% or more in approximately ½ of patients treated, although not usually to normal levels.
Since the effects of external pituitary radiation may not become maximal for several years, adjunctive therapy with Gynodel (Bromocriptine) offers potential benefit before the effects of irradiation are manifested.
Parkinson's Disease
Gynodel (Bromocriptine) or capsules are indicated in the treatment of the signs and symptoms of idiopathic or postencephalitic Parkinson's disease. As adjunctive treatment to levodopa (alone or with a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor), Parlodel therapy may provide additional therapeutic benefits in those patients who are currently maintained on optimal dosages of levodopa, those who are beginning to deteriorate (develop tolerance) to levodopa therapy, and those who are experiencing "end of dose failure'' on levodopa therapy. Gynodel (Bromocriptine) therapy may permit a reduction of the maintenance dose of levodopa and, thus may ameliorate the occurrence and/or severity of adverse reactions associated with long-term levodopa therapy such as abnormal involuntary movements (e.g., dyskinesias) and the marked swings in motor function ("on-off'' phenomenon). Continued efficacy of Gynodel (Bromocriptine) therapy during treatment of more than 2 years has not been established.
Data are insufficient to evaluate potential benefit from treating newly diagnosed Parkinson's disease with Gynodel (Bromocriptine). Studies have shown, however, significantly more adverse reactions (notably nausea, hallucinations, confusion and hypotension) in Gynodel (Bromocriptine)-treated patients than in levodopa/carbidopa-treated patients. Patients unresponsive to levodopa are poor candidates for Parlodel therapy.

SIDE EFFECTS
The definition of a side effect is a problem or problems that may occur when the desired treatment goes beyond what the drug was intended to effect or cure. Other possible side effects are problems that may occur in addition to the desired medical effect. As with all drugs there is always the possibility of side effects and various problems that may occur while taking a prescription drug. If any side effects of Gynodel (Bromocriptine) occur contact your doctor immediately or with extreme cases of danger call or visit your local emergency room. Some of the side effects common with many drugs may include weight gain and/or weight loss which should not always be viewed as an adverse side effect or problem. When a drug is administered by a doctor or a pharmacist they are required to communicate with you the proper dosage and also tell you about the possible side effects. They will also ask you if you have any allergies to specific ingredients if the medicine contains them.
