Used primarily in veterinary medicine, especially for the treatment of Cushing’s disease (PPID) in horses. It works by stimulating dopamine receptors, which helps regulate hormone levels disrupted by the disease. Commonly used to manage symptoms such as excessive hair growth, weight loss, and lethargy. Also historically used in human medicine for Parkinson’s disease and restless legs syndrome, though withdrawn in many countries due to safety concerns related to heart valve damage.
