Indications:
MIRAPEX ER and Mirapex® (pramipexole dihydrochloride) tablets are prescription medicines to treat the signs and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD).
Important Safety Information:
MIRAPEX ER or MIRAPEX may cause you to fall asleep without warning during daily activities, including talking, eating, and driving, which may result in accidents. Tell your doctor if you feel new or increased sleepiness while taking MIRAPEX ER or MIRAPEX. Do not drive a car, operate a machine, or do anything that needs you to be alert until you know how MIRAPEX ER or MIRAPEX affects you.
Before taking MIRAPEX ER or MIRAPEX, talk to your doctor about all of your medical conditions, including if you feel sleepy during the day.

If you or your family members notice that you are developing unusual urges or behaviors, talk to your doctor.
