Dihydroergocornine
Dihydroergocornine is an ergot alkaloid. Alongside dihydroergocristine and dihydroergocryptine, it is one of the three components of ergoloid.
Dihydroergocornine is less effective than ergotamine tartrate and dihydroergotamine in treating patients with typical migraine, but it is also less toxic.
Dihydroergocornine can temporarily lower blood pressure and pulse rate intravenously, whereas oral administration has little effect.
