Ergoloid is a mixture of the ergot alkaloids dihydroergocornine, dihydroergocrystine, and dihydroergocryptine.1 It blocks reflex vasodilation and vasoconstriction induced by norepinephrine (Item No. 16673) in dogs when injected into the kidney at a dose of 0.15 mg. Ergoloid blocks norepinephrine-induced cAMP production in rat brain cortical homogenates ex vivo in a dose-dependent manner.2 It also acts as an erectogenic agent in rats.3 Formulations containing ergoloid have been used in the treatment of migraine headaches and vascular dementias.
