Dopamine agonist

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A dopamine agonist is a compound that activates dopamine receptors, mimicking the effect of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Some medical drugs act as dopamine agonists; they are typically used for treating Parkinson's disease, and may be useful for restless legs syndrome (RLS).
