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. http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/short/356/1/29 [Pergolide is sometimes used for treatment of Restless Leg Syndrome as well, which some of us have.] |
