Lisuride, sold under the brand name Dopergin among others, is a monoaminergic medication of the ergoline family which is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, migraine, and high prolactin levels. It is taken by mouth.

Side effects of lisuride include nausea and vomiting, dizziness, headache, fatigue or drowsiness, insomnia or sleep, gastrointestinal disturbances such as abdominal pain or diarrhea, nasal congestion or runny nose, and hypotension, and hallucinations or confusion (particularly at higher doses). Rarely, serious side effects such as cardiac or pulmonary fibrosis have been reported with long-term use, but they are extremely uncommon.
