Pramipex-1

Uses
Pramipex (Pramipexole Dihydrochloride) is used in the treatment of idiopathic Parkinson's disease and RLS (restless leg syndrome). It is a type of drug called a non-ergot dopamine agonist, and it acts as a substitute for dopamine, a type of neurotransmitter which is important for the control of body movement. Patients who are affected by Parkinson's are known to suffer from a lack of dopamine.

By acting in its place, this medicine can help to relieve shaking, tremors, stiffness and other Parkinson's symptoms. Many medical experts have conducted research based on other potential off label uses for this medication, with the treatment of bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, fibromyalgia, sexual dysfunction and cluster headaches being the focus of these studies.
