Lisuride Maleate Indication: For the management of Parkinson's Disease
Mechanism Of Action: Lisuride Maleate is an anti-Parkinson drug chemically related to the dopaminergic ergoline Parkinson's drugs. Lisuride Maleate binds to the 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(2A/2C) receptors. It is also thought to bind to the dopamine receptor and to act as a dopamine agonist. Evidence has also emerged that Lisuride Maleate also binds to the Histamine H1 receptor. Lisuride Maleate is also used to lower prolactin and, in low doses, to prevent migraine attacks.
