Lisuride (brand name in Germany Dopergin) is an anti-Parkinson's drug of the iso-ergoline class, chemically related to the dopaminergic ergoline Parkinson's drugs. Lisuride is described as free base (see table on the right) and as hydrogenmaleate salt.

Lisuride is used to lower prolactin and, in low doses, to prevent migraine attacks. The use of lisuride as initial anti-Parkinsonian treatment has been advocated, delaying the need for levodopa until lisuride becomes insufficient for controlling the Parkinsonian disability. Preliminary trials suggest that the dermal application of lisuride may be useful in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Lisuride is not currently available in the US.
