Example 3

Pharmaceutical preparations of bromocriptine mesylate and bromocriptine citrate are exposed to atmospheric conditions (40° C. and 70% relative humidity) and the degradation of the bromocriptine is assessed over time. The degradation of the bromocriptine from the citrate salt compound (bromocriptine citrate) is found to be substantially less than the degradation of the bromocriptine from the mesylate salt compound (bromocriptine mesylate) over a three-month period

While the invention has been described in combination with embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description.
