About Pramipexole (0.50mg)

PRAMIXOLE 0.50 is a pharmaceutical product designed to manage symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease and Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). Containing Pramipexole, a dopamine agonist, this medication helps improve movement control and reduces the discomfort of RLS, enhancing the quality of life for patients.

Key Benefits:

• Symptom Management: Effectively alleviates the motor symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease, including tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement.
• RLS Relief: Reduces the urge to move the legs and decreases the uncomfortable sensations caused by Restless Legs Syndrome, leading to better sleep and improved daily functioning.
• Improved Mobility: Enhances overall movement control, helping patients maintain independence and perform daily activities with greater ease.
• Dopamine Agonist: Acts directly on dopamine receptors, offering an alternative for patients who may not respond well to other Parkinson's medications.

How Does It Work?

Pramipexole, the active ingredient in PRAMIXOLE 0.50, functions as a dopamine agonist. It binds to dopamine receptors in the brain, mimicking the action of dopamine, a neurotransmitter crucial for controlling movement. By stimulating these receptors, Pramipexole helps compensate for the dopamine deficiency characteristic of Parkinson's disease and regulates the nerve signals that cause the symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome.

Directions for Use:

• Dosage: Follow the dosage prescribed by your healthcare provider. Typically, PRAMIXOLE 0.50 is taken orally, with or without food.
• Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablet.
• Consistency: Take the medication at the same time each day to maintain an even level of the drug in your bloodstream.
• Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
