THe article also mentions that use of Bromocriptine and Permax is redundant. I see several regimines using both... I suggest that eliminating redundant therapy may alleviate side effects...There was a definition of D1 and D2 excitors( permax effects both , Bromo.. only one ) if Bromo effects the site that is esssential to you , it may be the choice.. if the other receptor / or both/ require stimulation then Permax would be the preferred therapy.. I didn't retain this issue , perhaps someone can correct me if I didn't summarize accurately... food for thought.
