PRAMIPEX 1MG 10 Tablets

Pramipex 1MG 

Pramipex 1MG is a dopamine agonist that is used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease in adults as well as mild to severe Willis-Ekbom disease (restless legs syndrome). Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative neurological ailment characterized by movement impairments as the initial symptom. Willis-Ekbom disease is a disorder that causes an insatiable desire to move one’s legs.

Pramipex 1MG contains ‘Pramipexole,’ which mimics the effect of dopamine (acting in place of dopamine), a natural substance found in the brain that regulates body movement. The nerve impulses in the brain that regulate body motions are triggered as a result of this.

Pramipex 1MG can be taken with or without food. Pramipex 1MG tablet should be consumed whole with a glass of water; it should not be chewed or crushed. Depending on your medical condition, you should take Pramipex 1MG for as long as your doctor has prescribed it. Sleepiness, nausea, constipation, dizziness, exhaustion, hallucinations, dry mouth, muscle spasms, peripheral oedema (leg swelling due to fluid overload), dyskinesia (uncontrolled muscle movement), headache, and anorexia are some of the prevalent adverse effects (eating disorder). The majority of these adverse effects do not necessitate medical treatment and will subside with time. However, if you are experiencing these adverse effects on a regular basis, you should consult your doctor.

Do not stop taking Pramipex 1MG by yourself. If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, don’t use Pramipex 1MG unless your doctor tells you to. Pramipex 1MG can make you drowsy and dizzy, so don’t drive unless you’re fully awake. Pramipex 1MG should not be given to children under the age of 18. Alcohol should not be used while taking Pramipex 1MG since it may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Pramipex 1MG causes orthostatic hypotension, so rise gently from a sitting or reclining position (sudden lowering in blood pressure leading to dizziness on standing).

Pramipex 1MG is used to treat Parkinson’s disease and Willis Ekbom illness (restless legs syndrome)

Medicinal Advantages

Pramipex 1MG is a dopamine agonist, a type of antiparkinson drug used to treat symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and mild to severe Willis-Ekbom disease (restless legs syndrome) in people. Pramipex 1MG mimics the activity of the dopamine receptor by binding to it. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that occurs naturally in the brain. Parkinson’s disease patients have little or no dopamine. Pramipex 1MG acts by stimulating the brain’s dopamine receptors. The nerve impulses in the brain that regulate body motions are triggered as a result of this. Pramipex 1MG is used to treat Parkinson’s disease symptoms such as muscle spasms, tremors, stiffness, and poor muscle control.

Use Instructions

Pramipex 1MG can be taken with or without food. Pramipex 1MG should be taken exactly as directed by your doctor. Pramipex 1MG should be consumed whole with a glass of water; chewing or crushing the pill is not recommended. Pramipex 1MG should be taken 2-3 hours before bedtime for restless leg syndrome. Your doctor will determine how long you should take Pramipex 1MG based on your medical situation.

Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.

Pramipex 1MG Side Effects

Pramipex 1MG, like all drugs, can produce side effects, albeit not everyone gets them. The most common adverse effects of Pramipex 1MG include nausea, low blood pressure, dizziness, constipation, exhaustion, headache, dry mouth, muscular spasms, dyskinesia (a movement problem), sleepiness, insomnia, and peripheral oedema (swelling of the lower legs and hands). If you encounter any of these adverse effects on a regular basis, please see your doctor.

Drug Recommendations

If you are allergic to any of the ingredients in Pramipexole, you should not take it. If you have kidney problems, hallucinations, dyskinesia (abnormal limb movements), dystonia (inability to keep the neck straight), sleepiness or falling asleep suddenly, psychosis, vision impairment, severe heart or blood vessel disease, or augmentation, consult your doctor before taking Pramipexole (symptoms start earlier). If you suffer symptoms like apathy, anxiety, depression, exhaustion, sweating, or pain after reducing or quitting Pramipexole, tell your doctor. Increased sex drive, gambling, overeating, and spending money are all possible side effects of pramipexole. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should not use Pramipexole unless your doctor has recommended it. Do not drive unless you are awake because pramipexole causes sleepiness and dizziness. Children under the age of 18 should not be administered pramipexole. Alcohol should not be used while taking Pramipexole because it can cause drowsiness and dizziness. Pramipexole causes orthostatic hypotension, so rise gently from a sitting or reclining position (sudden lowering in blood pressure leading to dizziness on standing).

Interactions Between Drugs

INTERACTIONS BETWEEN DRUGS: Antidepressants (amitriptyline, duloxetine, trazodone, and fluoxetine), antihistamines (diphenhydramine, and cetirizine), anticonvulsants (gabapentin, and pregabalin), a medicine used to treat Alzheimer’s disease (memantine), and pain relievers may interact with pramipexole (acetaminophen, hydrocodone, and tramadol).

INTERACTIONS WITH FOOD AND DRUGS: Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Pramipexole because it might induce dizziness, drowsiness, tiredness, and difficulties concentrating.

Pramipexole may interact with diseases such as low blood pressure, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, psychosis, and renal function abnormalities.

Safety Suggestions

ALCOHOL

Alcohol should be avoided when taking Pramipexole because it can cause dizziness.

Glossary of Diseases and Conditions

Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative neurological ailment characterized by movement impairments as the initial symptom. In persons with Parkinson’s disease, dopamine, a naturally occurring neurotransmitter in the brain, is decreased or absent. Smooth and coordinated movements become a challenge as a result of these issues. Reduced scent, stooped posture, changes in voice, constipation, small/ cramped handwriting, tremor, slow movements, stiffness of arms, legs, and trunk, and balance issues are some of the symptoms.

Restless leg syndrome (Willis-Ekbom disease): It’s a condition that causes an insatiable desire to move one’s legs. When a person is trying to sleep or is calm, the need to move their legs is stronger. This disrupts sleep, resulting in daytime drowsiness and weariness. Uncontrollable urges to move the legs, tingling, crawling, or pulling sensations in the legs are all symptoms.

FAQs

Pramipexole mimics dopamine by stimulating nerve impulses in the brain that govern our bodily movements, such as restless leg syndrome and Parkinson’s disease.

If you feel dizziness, tiredness, or hallucinations while taking pramipexole, don’t drive or operate machinery.

Do not stop taking Pramipexole without first visiting your doctor, since this may result in recurrent problems. Continue taking Pramipexole for as long as it is suggested to effectively treat your illness. If you have any problems while taking Pramipexole, don’t hesitate to talk to your doctor.

Pramipexole may cause hypotension (low blood pressure), especially during the first few days of medication. To avoid a quick drop in blood pressure, do not stand up suddenly. Instead, steadily rise. While taking Pramipexole, keep a close eye on your blood pressure.

Pramipexole may cause dry mouth as a negative effect. Limiting caffeine intake, avoiding tobacco and mouthwashes containing alcohol, drinking plenty of water, and eating sugar-free gum/candy may all help to stimulate saliva and prevent mouth drying.

Pramipexole can induce oedema in the legs (swelling of lower legs and hands due to fluid overload). As a result, avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time.

Hallucination is a medical disorder in which a person experiences, hears, or believes things that aren’t real, sees things that aren’t there, and feels suspicious or puzzled. Please contact your doctor as soon as possible if you are experiencing hallucinations.
