Default FYI: NEJM article - pergolide and cabergoline

FYI: NEJM article - pergolide and cabergoline
I'm just posting this here FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY.

I have known people with Tourette Syndrome who have been taking small amounts of one of these medications
- pergolide, a dopamine agonist.

Volume 356:29-38 January 4, 2007 Number 1

Dopamine Agonists and the Risk of Cardiac-Valve Regurgitation
René Schade, M.D., Frank Andersohn, M.D., Samy Suissa, Ph.D., Wilhelm Haverkamp, M.D., Ph.D., and Edeltraut Garbe, M.D., Ph.D.

[Pergolide is sometimes used for treatment of Restless Leg Syndrome as well, which some of us have.]
