Pramipexole is a medication primarily used to treat Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome. It works by mimicking the effects of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in movement and coordination. By stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, pramipexole helps improve motor control and reduce symptoms associated with these conditions.
This medication is usually taken orally, and the dosage may vary based on the individual's needs and response to treatment. Common side effects can include nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. Patients should consult their healthcare provider for proper guidance and monitoring while using pramipexole.
