Product Description

To help mitigate the symptoms of Parkinson?s disease, many doctors prescribe medications that induce the production of dopamine, a chemical that is created naturally in the body. Dopamine is known to reduce tremors, spasms, and the lack of muscle control.

One of the main drugs that doctors prescribe is called Mirapex, which is also known as pramipexole. When one takes Mirapex, the tablet immediately releases drugs that target the brain. Upon stimulation, dopamine is released.

In addition to Parkinson?s disease, Mirapex is also effective at treating RLS or Restless Leg Syndrome.
