Pramipexole is a medication that contains the active ingredient pramipexole dihydrochloride. It is used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome. Pramipexole works by mimicking the action of dopamine, a natural substance in the brain that helps control movement. This medication is suitable for individuals with Parkinson's disease experiencing tremors, muscle stiffness, and movement difficulties, as well as those with restless legs syndrome seeking relief from uncomfortable sensations in the legs.

Dosage and usage

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.
