How it Works

How Ergoloid Mesylates Works Ergoloid Mesylates is a fungal derivative that exhibits a dual mechanism of action involving partial agonism and antagonism at adrenergic, dopaminergic, and serotonergic receptors. It acts centrally to decrease vascular tone and slow the heart rate, while also acting peripherally to block alpha-receptors. Another potential mechanism is its effect on neuronal cell metabolism, which may enhance oxygen uptake and cerebral metabolism, thereby normalizing depressed neurotransmitter levels.
