What Experts Say

Lisuride acts like dopamine in the brain, which lowers prolactin release from the pituitary gland and eases some Parkinson's symptoms.

Doctors usually start with a very low dose at bedtime to reduce dizziness and nausea, then raise it slowly over time.

The first dose can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure, so it is best taken while sitting or lying down initially.
