Pramitrem 1 mg Tablet

Pramitrem 1 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains 1 mg of pramipexole in each tablet. It belongs to the anti-parkinsonian medicine group and is used to help manage the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. In some patients, pramipexole may also be used for restless legs syndrome, but this strength should be taken only when a doctor has decided it is appropriate. Pramitrem 1 mg Tablet is made by Dr Reddy's, India, and is supplied as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Pramipexole works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, helping replace some of the movement-control signals that are reduced in Parkinson’s disease. As a tablet, Pramitrem 1 mg Tablet provides this medicine in a convenient oral form for regular dosing.

Pramitrem 1 mg Tablet is a higher-strength option compared with Pramitrem 0.5 mg Tablet, so it is usually chosen only after a doctor has assessed how a person is responding to lower doses. Because it delivers more pramipexole per tablet, it may be used when a patient needs a stronger prescribed dose rather than a starter dose. This strength is not meant to be substituted for lower-dose tablets on your own.

• Parkinson’s disease symptom control
• Muscle stiffness and slowness of movement
• Tremor management in Parkinson’s disease
• Restless legs syndrome, if prescribed
• Adjunct treatment when a doctor recommends a dopamine agonist

• Swallow Pramitrem 1 mg Tablet whole with water; do not chew or crush it unless your doctor or pharmacist says otherwise.
• Take it exactly at the times prescribed, since the dose schedule is individualized and may be adjusted gradually.
• You may take it with or without food, but taking it with food can help if it upsets your stomach.
• If it makes you sleepy or dizzy, avoid driving or activities that need alertness until you know how it affects you.
• Do not change from Pramitrem 0.5 mg Tablet to Pramitrem 1 mg Tablet tablet-for-tablet without medical guidance, because the dose change matters.
• If you miss a dose, follow your prescription instructions or contact your pharmacist/doctor for advice rather than doubling up.

Each Pramitrem 1 mg Tablet contains 1 mg of pramipexole. The number of tablets taken per day depends on the condition being treated, kidney function, and how well you tolerate the medicine, and your doctor decides the schedule. Because this is a 1 mg strength, it may be part of a higher maintenance dose rather than a starting dose, and the total daily amount should stay within the limit set by your prescriber.

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