Improved sexual function in male haemodialysis patients on bromocriptine.

The effect of bromocriptine on sexual activity was studied in male haemodialysis patients in a single-blind placebo controlled trial with random cross-over. At a dose of 2.5 mg bromocriptine twice day, plasma-prolactin concentrations were consistently reduced, while sexual function as assessed by a questionnaire was markedly improved. At the doses used, side-effects, particularly hypotension, were common, but bromocriptine helped to restore sexual function in dialysed patients.
