Product Overview

Pramipexole is a medication used to treat conditions like Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome (RLS).

Uses

  1. Parkinson's Disease: It is used to help manage the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement and coordination.
  2.  
  3. Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS): Pramipexole is also used to relieve the uncomfortable sensations in the legs and the urge to move the legs that are characteristic of RLS.

Benefits

  • For Parkinson's disease, Pramipexole can help improve motor symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia (slowness of movement).
  •  
  • For RLS, Pramipexole can provide relief from the discomfort and restlessness in the legs, allowing for better sleep.

Side Effect

  • Common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, constipation, and hallucinations. Not everyone will experience these side effects, and their severity can vary from person to person.
  •  
  • Less commonly, it may cause more serious side effects like orthostatic hypotension (a sudden drop in blood pressure when standing), impulse control disorders, or changes in behavior and mood.

How to use

The dosage and frequency of use will depend on your medical condition, and it's essential to follow your doctor's prescribed instructions.

How It works

  • Pramipexole is a dopamine agonist. It works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain. In Parkinson's disease, where there is a deficiency of dopamine, Pramipexole helps increase dopamine levels, which can improve motor symptoms.
  • The exact mechanism in treating restless legs syndrome is not fully understood, but it appears to reduce abnormal brain activity associated with the condition.

What if you forget to take?

If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it's close to the time for your next scheduled dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
