Pramirol 0.25 Tablet

Pramirol 0.25 Tablet contains pramipexole 0.25 mg in each tablet. It is an anti-Parkinsonian medicine in the dopamine agonist class. Doctors use Pramirol 0.25 Tablet to help treat symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, such as tremor, stiffness, slowness of movement, and trouble with balance or walking. It may also be used in some patients with restless legs syndrome, depending on the prescriber’s directions.

How it works: Pramipexole works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, helping replace some of the dopamine activity that is reduced in Parkinson’s disease. As an oral tablet, Pramirol 0.25 Tablet is swallowed and absorbed systemically to help improve movement symptoms over time.

Pramirol 0.25 Tablet is a lower-strength tablet, which makes it useful when a doctor wants to start treatment gradually or adjust the dose in small steps. Because pramipexole can cause sleepiness, dizziness, or low blood pressure when doses are raised too fast, this 0.25 mg strength may be chosen to support careful titration and better tolerability. It fits typical dosing as one step in a personalized schedule rather than as a one-size-fits-all dose.

• Parkinson’s disease symptom control
• Tremor and stiffness relief
• Slowness of movement (bradykinesia)
• Restless legs syndrome, if prescribed
• Dose-titration step for pramipexole treatment

• Swallow Pramirol 0.25 Tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew unless your prescriber or pharmacist specifically says it is okay.
• Take it exactly at the time your doctor tells you, because this medicine is often adjusted gradually.
• You may take it with or without food; taking it with food can help if it upsets your stomach.
• If it makes you sleepy or dizzy, be careful when standing up, walking, or doing tasks that need alertness.
• Avoid alcohol unless your clinician says it is safe, because it can worsen drowsiness or dizziness.
• Do not stop Pramirol 0.25 Tablet suddenly without medical advice, especially if you take it for Parkinson’s disease.

Each Pramirol 0.25 Tablet provides pramipexole 0.25 mg. The tablet may be taken once daily, or more often in divided doses, depending on why it was prescribed and how you respond; your doctor decides the exact schedule. There is no single maximum dose for every patient, but the dose is adjusted carefully and should only be increased under medical supervision.

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