Sicriptin Tablet contains bromocriptine mesylate (2.5 mg), which exerts its effects on the body as follows:

• Reduction of Prolactin Release: Bromocriptine binds to and activates dopamine receptors in the brain, particularly the D2 receptors. This action inhibits the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland, thereby reducing prolactin levels in the body.

• Relief of Parkinson's Symptoms: In Parkinson's disease, bromocriptine mimics the effects of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that is deficient in this condition. This helps manage motor symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and slow movement.

• Control of Growth Hormone: In patients with acromegaly, a rare hormonal disorder, Bromocriptine helps control the excess production of growth hormone.

• Improvement of Glycemic Control: In patients with type 2 diabetes, Bromocriptine may improve glycemic control as an adjunct treatment.
