Frequently asked questions

How should Pramipexole be taken?

Take Pramipexole as prescribed by your doctor, typically 2-3 hours before bedtime. Swallow the tablets whole with water, and it can be taken with or without food, though taking it with food may reduce nausea.

Does Pramipexole make you sleepy?

Yes, Pramipexole can cause sleepiness and may lead to sudden episodes of falling asleep. If this occurs, avoid driving and operating heavy machinery, and inform your doctor.

Is Pramipexole a muscle relaxant?

No, Pramipexole is not a muscle relaxant. It is a dopamine agonist that improves movement and muscle control in Parkinson's disease.

Does Pramipexole cause weight gain?

Pramipexole commonly leads to weight loss due to decreased appetite, but it can occasionally cause weight gain. If you have concerns about your weight, consult your doctor or a nutritionist.

How does Pramipexole work for restless legs?

Pramipexole treats restless leg syndrome (RLS) by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps control movement and alleviates discomfort and the urge to move the legs.

What are the serious side effects of Pramipexole?

Serious side effects of Pramipexole include hallucinations, confusion, aggressive behavior, abnormal thoughts, uncontrolled body movements, and changes in posture. It may also cause dark urine, muscle tenderness, stiffness, and weakness. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of these symptoms.

What are impulse control disorders caused by Pramipexole?

Pramipexole may lead to impulse control disorders, resulting in unusual cravings or urges to engage in harmful behaviors, such as compulsive gambling, overeating, excessive spending, or increased sexual preoccupation.

Can I stop taking Pramipexole if my symptoms of Parkinson’s disease have improved?

Do not stop taking Pramipexole without consulting your doctor, as sudden discontinuation can lead to neuroleptic malignant syndrome, which presents with severe symptoms like muscle rigidity, fever, and confusion.
