Pramipexole

You should take Pramipexole exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The typical starting dose for Parkinson's disease is 0.125 mg taken three times a day. The dosage may be gradually increased based on your response to the medication. For restless legs syndrome, the starting dose is usually 0.125 mg once daily, which may be adjusted as needed. It is important not to exceed the recommended dosage to avoid potential side effects. If you experience any unusual symptoms or if your condition worsens, contact your doctor promptly.

Each Pramipexole tablet contains 0.125 mg, 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, or 1.5 mg of pramipexole dihydrochloride as the active ingredient. The tablets also contain excipients including mannitol, pregelatinized starch, povidone, and magnesium stearate. These components help to stabilize and deliver the medication effectively.

Common side effects of Pramipexole may include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, and constipation. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include hallucinations, severe dizziness, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, or throat. In rare cases, Pramipexole may cause sudden onset of sleep, so use caution when driving or operating machinery.

Do not take Pramipexole if you are allergic to pramipexole or any of the ingredients in the tablets. It is important to inform your doctor of any medical conditions you have, especially if you have kidney problems. Pramipexole may interact with certain medications, so inform your healthcare provider about all the drugs you are taking. If you have heart issues or are on medications that affect dopamine levels, consult your doctor before using Pramipexole.
