Pemphigus Vulgaris Successfully Treated With Bromocriptine.

ABSTRACT

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune blistering skin condition primarily treated with immunosuppressive agents. We describe a case of PV successfully treated with nonconventional treatment, bromocriptine mesylate. Bromocriptine has been used in human trials showing beneficial therapeutic effects in managing autoimmune conditions. The results from experimental trials and the low toxicity of bromocriptine in comparison with immunosuppressive agents form a solid rationale for investigating its role in controlling PV.  J Drugs Dermatol. 2024;23(3)     doi10.36849/JDD.7720e.
