The use of bromocriptine in the treatment of the unstable bladder.
Initial experience with the use of bromocriptine in 24 patients with troublesome micturition symptoms associated with an unstable bladder is described. 14 patients responded symptomatically to treatment with bromocriptine and these results were confirmed by a double blind trial in this group. 11 of these patients had previously failed to benefit from treatment either with drugs or vesical distension. It is concluded that bromocriptine has a part to play in the treatment of some cases of primary detrusor instability.
