HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It would be best to schedule an appointment with his neurologist to determine how long he will need to continue using this medication.
Bromocriptine is commonly used in some conditions affecting the pituitary gland which is found in the brain.
If the aneurysm rupture affected this area then this may be the possible reason for the medication but a reevaluation by his neurologist is needed.
I hope this helps
