Pergolide was withdrawn from the U.S. market on March 29, 2007.
Pergolide is used to treat Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is associated with low
levels of a chemical called dopamine (DOE pa meen) in the brain. Pergolide has some of the
same effects as dopamine in the body.
Pergolide is used to treat the stiffness, tremors, spasms, and poor muscle control of
Parkinson's disease. Pergolide is often used in conjunction with other medicines in the treatment
of Parkinson's disease.
Pergolide may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
