Abstract
Bromocriptine Mesylate (BC) is an ergot derivative with potent dopamine receptor agonist activity. It is licensed to reduce plasma levels of prolactin. BC has central nervous effects, and is used in patients with Parkinson's disease. There are few randomized controlled trials with BC conducted in moderate brain injury (BI) with conflicting results (1). We aim to present our single center experience on dopaminergic challenge using off-label BC in patients with severe BI.
