Abstract
The effect of bromocriptine in 7 patients with idiopathic edema was studied. Two patients were unable to tolerate the drug; the remaining 5 were maintained on doses of 5-7.5 mg a day. Symptomatic improvement was noted in 2 patients and in both of these and one other there was a significant improvement in mean diurnal weight gain. The fall in free water and Na clearance on standing was reduced by bromocriptine, but there was no significant change in the excessive fall in plasma volume.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
