Hey all, welcome back to the real-life pharmacology podcast. I'm your host, pharmacist, Derek Christensen.

Thank you so much for listening. As always, go check out real-life pharmacology.com. Get your free 31-page

PDF on the top 200 drugs. Great little study guide, whether you're in pharmacology classes, taking board exams,

or if you're out in practice, a great little refresher if you haven't had any pharmacology classes, taking board exams, or if you're out in practice,

a great little refresher if you haven't had any pharmacology classes in a while.

I also want to mention I've had a couple of books released, MedEd 101 Guide to Nursing

Pharmacology and MedEd 101 Guide to Drug Food Interaction.

So both of those you can find on Amazon.

And I've got some really, really nice responses and reviews from folks like yourself

who have purchased those and benefited from them.

So go check that out.

Obviously, that helps grow this podcast and allows me to be

able to try to do the best job I possibly can. So I'm appreciative to all of you who've supported that.

All right. So let's get into the drug of the day today and that is Cabergoling.

Brand name of this medication is Dosteneinex now maybe you've seen this medication

maybe you haven't in practice i will say it's definitely more on the rare side but i have seen it a

few times for sure this drug is classified as a dopamine agonist.

It's definitely structurally different from some of the other maybe more traditional

or more commonly used dopamine agonists, such as rupinerol, such as prima pexol.

Those would be Mirpex and requip.

It's also an ergotamine-type derivative drug, so it's got a little bit of that aspect, too, and I'll touch on that briefly in drug interactions too.

So being a dopamine agonist, where would we see this medication used?
