    Pharmacological Effects

    Parkinson's Disease

    Through the stimulation of dopamine receptors, Pramipexole is thought to relieve the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease occur partly due to a reduction of dopamine in the substantia nigra of the brain. Dopamine is an essential neurotransmitter that has major effects on motor movements in humans.

    Restless Legs Syndrome

    Pramipexole likely restores balance to the dopaminergic system, controlling the symptoms of this condition. Restless legs syndrome is thought to occur, in part, through dysfunction of the dopaminergic system, resulting in unpleasant lower extremity symptoms.
