What is Cycloset used for?

Cycloset (bromocriptine) is a dopamine agonist, a medicine that acts like the brain chemical dopamine. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:

  • Along with diet and exercise, to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Cycloset is taken once a day within two hours after waking, with food. The label starts at 1 tablet (0.8 mg) and adds 1 tablet a week until the dose reaches 2 to 6 tablets (1.6 to 4.8 mg) a day. It is not for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. It must not be used by people with fainting-type (syncopal) migraines, by people who recently gave birth or are breastfeeding, or by people allergic to bromocriptine or other ergot medicines. The label has no boxed warning. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.

Is it safe to order Cycloset from Canada?

Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and Cycloset has no U.S. generic, so compare the price per tablet and how many tablets you take before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027.
