Mirator 1 mg Tablet

Mirator 1 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains pramipexole 1 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the anti-Parkinsonian medicine class and is used to treat symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. In some patients, pramipexole may also be used for restless legs syndrome, depending on the prescriber’s plan. Mirator 1 mg Tablet is the tablet strength of this medicine intended for patients whose dose has already been carefully adjusted by a doctor.

How it works: Pramipexole works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, helping replace some of the dopamine signal that is reduced in Parkinson’s disease. As a tablet, Mirator 1 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed into the body to help improve movement-related symptoms over time.

Mirator 1 mg Tablet is a higher-strength pramipexole tablet, so it is generally not the starting strength for most people. Doctors may choose Mirator 1 mg Tablet when a lower dose has already been tolerated and more symptom control is needed, or when a patient’s treatment has been titrated upward. Because this is a 1 mg tablet, it should be used exactly as prescribed and not treated like a first-step dose.

• Parkinson’s disease symptom control
• Stiffness and rigidity
• Tremor
• Slowness of movement
• Restless legs syndrome, if prescribed

• Swallow Mirator 1 mg Tablet with water; do not crush or chew unless your doctor specifically tells you to.
• Take it exactly at the time(s) your doctor prescribed, since the schedule may be gradual and individualized.
• You may take it with or without food, but taking it with food can help reduce nausea.
• If it makes you sleepy or dizzy, avoid driving or standing up quickly after taking it.
• Do not change from a lower pramipexole strength to Mirator 1 mg Tablet without medical guidance.
• If a dose is missed, follow your prescriber’s instructions rather than doubling up on your own.

Each Mirator 1 mg Tablet provides 1 mg of pramipexole per tablet. The number of tablets and how often they are taken depends on the condition being treated, how you respond, and whether you are starting, increasing, or maintaining therapy. The doctor decides the dose and the maximum amount per day, and this 1 mg strength is typically used only after careful dose adjustment.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
