Pramipex ER 1.5 Tablet contains pramipexole (1.5 mg), which has the following effects on your body:

• Dopamine D2 Subfamily Receptor Activation: Pramipexole selectively binds to and activates dopamine D2 subfamily receptors, especially the D3 receptor. This activation aids in improving motor control, which helps in managing the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

• Unknown Mechanism in Restless Legs Syndrome: The exact way pramipexole works to manage Restless Legs Syndrome isn't fully understood. However, it's thought that it might work by correcting an imbalance in dopamine function in the brain.
