Mirapexin

Description

Mirapexin is a medication containing the active ingredient pramipexole, which belongs to a class of drugs known as dopamine agonists. It works by mimicking the action of dopamine in the brain, helping to improve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome. Mirapexin is suitable for individuals who are experiencing symptoms of these conditions, such as tremors, stiffness, slowed movements, and restless sensations in the legs.

Typically, the starting dose for Parkinson's disease is 0.125 mg taken three times daily. For restless legs syndrome, the initial dose is usually 0.125 mg taken once daily. Your doctor may adjust the dose gradually to achieve the best therapeutic effect. It is important not to exceed the recommended dosage, and if you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to catch up.
