    • Effective in treating prolactinomas and Parkinson's disease.
    • Inhibit prolactin secretion, improving associated symptoms.
    • Common examples include Bromocriptine and Cabergoline.
    • Side effects often include psychotic symptoms, dizziness, headaches, nausea, light-headedness, and confusion.

    Vasopressin Analogue (ADH)

    • Primarily indicated for central diabetes insipidus.
    • Careful monitoring needed due to contraindications such as hyponatremia.

    Hormone Analogues, Agonists, and Antagonists

    • Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) Receptor Agonist
      • Used for continuous administration in endometriosis and leiomyomas (uterine fibroids).
      • Pulsatile administration indicated for amenorrhea.
      • Can be applied in the treatment of prostate and breast cancer.
      • Contraindications include symptoms of hypogonadism and bone pain.
      • Common side effects are swelling in the feet and ankles.

    Growth Hormone Analogue

    • Treats dwarfism and muscle wasting linked to AIDS/malignancy.
    • Works by binding to growth hormone receptors, enhancing bone and muscle growth while regulating blood glucose and lipid levels.
    • Associated side effects include hand and foot edema, arthralgias, carpal tunnel syndrome, decreased insulin sensitivity, and hyperglycemia.

    Somatostatin Analogue

    • Clinical applications include management of esophageal varices, VIPomas, carcinoid syndrome, acromegaly, and Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.
    • Mechanism involves inhibiting hormone secretion (including GH, glucagon, and insulin) through binding to somatostatin receptors (SSTR2 and SSTR5).
    • Contraindicated in patients with gallbladder disease and pancreatitis.
    • Side effects may encompass thyroid dysfunctions and fluctuations in blood glucose levels.

    Dopamine Receptor Agonists

    • Effective in treating prolactinomas and Parkinson's disease.
    • Inhibit prolactin secretion, improving associated symptoms.
    • Common examples include Bromocriptine and Cabergoline.
    • Side effects often include psychotic symptoms, dizziness, headaches, nausea, light-headedness, and confusion.
