Bromocriptine is a synthetic ergot derivative and a potent dopamine agonist. It is used specifically to treat hyperprolactinemia in patients. Patients suffering from this condition produce excessive amounts of a hormone called prolactin hence ovulation is suppressed as a result of it. A small tumor of the pituitary gland called a pituitary microadenoma is the cause of hyperprolactinemia.
Danazol is one of the prescribed treatments for endometriosis. However the most prominent action is the suppression of follicle stimulating hormone. Hence there is an inhibition of testicular and ovarian functions.
Clomiphene is non-steroidal. It stimulates ovulation in a high percentage of appropriately selected super ovulating normal women. It has no progestational, androgenic or antiandrogenic effects. It also does not appear to interfere with pituitary-adrenal or pituitary-thyroid functions. It has shown promising results in the sub fertile male with oligosperma. It can have gonad-stimulating effects on some men who have pituitary glands and testes that are potentially responsive.
