>> Can someone explain - what is "ergotism" << Pergolide is an ergot drug. Ergot drug = a drug containing alkaloids (as f.e. ergotamine). Alkaloids have a contractile effect on smooth muscle (as of peripheral arterioles). Ergotism = a toxic condition that (amongst others) can be produced by chronic excessive use of an ergot drug.
