Side effects of lisuride include nausea and vomiting, dizziness, headache, fatigue or drowsiness, insomnia or sleep, gastrointestinal disturbances such as abdominal pain or diarrhea, nasal congestion or runny nose, and hypotension, hallucinations or confusion (particularly at higher doses). Rarely, serious side effects such as cardiac or pulmonary fibrosis have been reported with long-term use, but they are extremely uncommon.[3]
Lisuride acts as a mixed agonist and antagonist of dopamine, serotonin, and adrenergic receptors.[1][4][5][6] Activation of specific dopamine receptors is thought to be responsible for its effectiveness in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and ability to suppress prolactin levels,[1] while interactions with serotonin receptors are thought to be principally involved in its effectiveness for migraine.[7][8]
