Description
Product Introduction:
Pramipex ER 0.375 Tablet is an extended-release formulation used in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). It helps manage symptoms such as tremors, muscle stiffness, and difficulty moving by increasing dopamine levels in the brain. This medication slows down excessive shaking and helps improve coordination, thereby enhancing motor function and quality of life.
Key Uses:
- Parkinson’s Disease: Pramipex ER 0.375 Tablet is effective in relieving common symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, including tremors, rigidity, and difficulty with movement. It works by mimicking the action of dopamine, a chemical needed for motor control in the brain.
- Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS): The tablet helps alleviate the unpleasant sensations in the legs, which often lead to an irresistible urge to move them, typically during periods of rest or sleep. RLS can interfere with sleep, and this medication helps reduce these sensations and improve sleep quality.
How Pramipex ER 0.375 Tablet Works:
Pramipex ER 0.375 Tablet works by mimicking dopamine, a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in controlling movement. In Parkinson’s disease, dopamine-producing neurons are damaged, leading to motor dysfunction. This tablet increases dopamine activity in the brain, which helps regulate body movements and reduces symptoms like tremors, muscle stiffness, and bradykinesia (slowness of movement).

Most side effects are mild and often resolve as the body adjusts to the medication. However, consult your doctor if they persist or cause concern:
