Pramipex ER 0.375 Tablet 1*10

Pramipex ER 0.375 Tablet is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). It helps relieve symptoms like tremors, stiffness, and difficulty in movement by improving muscle control and coordination. The extended-release (ER) formulation provides a steady release of the medicine throughout the day, maintaining consistent therapeutic levels and ensuring prolonged relief.

It works by mimicking the effects of dopamine, a natural brain chemical essential for controlling body movement, balance, and coordination. By restoring dopamine activity, Pramipex ER 0.375 Tablet improves daily functioning, reduces involuntary movements, and promotes better sleep quality in people with RLS.

How It Works:

Pramipex ER 0.375 Tablet is a dopamine agonist. It acts by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, mimicking the effect of dopamine. This action helps reduce motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease and relieves the unpleasant sensations and movement urges seen in Restless Leg Syndrome.

• Nausea or vomiting
• Dry mouth
• Fatigue or weakness
• Hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren’t real)

Most of these effects are temporary and resolve as the body adapts to the medicine. Contact your doctor if side effects persist or become severe.
