PRAMIPEX ER 0.75 MG – 10 TABLET

Description

PRAMIPEX ER 0.75 MG contains Pramipexole, a dopamine agonist that helps manage motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson’s disease by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain. It reduces tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement. This extended-release version allows for consistent medication levels throughout the day. PRAMIPEX ER is also effective in treating Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), easing discomfort and improving sleep quality in individuals with RLS.

Usage Instructions:
Take PRAMIPEX ER 0.75 MG once daily, with or without food.
Swallow the tablet whole, without crushing or chewing, to maintain its extended-release properties.
Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for dosing adjustments.

Medicinal Advantages:
Improves Movement: Reduces stiffness, tremors, and slow movement in Parkinson’s patients.
Relieves Restless Legs Syndrome: Eases discomfort in the legs, improving sleep quality in RLS patients.

Mechanism of Action:
Pramipexole acts as a dopamine agonist, stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain to compensate for the dopamine deficiency seen in Parkinson’s disease. It improves movement control and reduces tremors, stiffness, and discomfort associated with both Parkinson’s and Restless Leg Syndrome.
