Prami Paxol Drug Information | Pramipexole
Parkinson's disease affects the way the brain coordinates with muscle movements. In this disease, a number of cells in the corpus luteum of the brain (Substenia negra) are damaged and die. These brain cells (dopaminergic neurons) transmit the nerve message to the spinal cord by producing a chemical called dopamine, which controls the movement of the body's muscles. When these brain cells are damaged, the amount of dopamine produced decreases. A combination of depletion of brain cells and low levels of dopamine in cells in this part of the brain slows and abnormalizes nerve signals to muscles.
These are the main symptoms of Parkinson's disease, namely stiffness, tremors and slowness of movement. Pramipexole is a dopamine receptor agonist, meaning that it acts as a dopamine on similar receptors in the brain.
In fact, pramipexole acts as a substitute for dopamine, which helps reduce the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Pramipexole may be used alone or in combination with other medicines to treat Parkinson's disease.
Pramipexole is used to treat Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). It is an uncomfortable feeling in the legs that the patient needs painkillers to move his legs. Pramipexole can reduce the distressing symptoms of this syndrome in a person.
