Pramipex ER 0.375 Tablet contains pramipexole (0.375 mg), which interacts with your body in the following ways:

• Targets D2 Receptors: Pramipexole has a high affinity for dopamine D2 subfamily receptors, particularly the D3 receptors.

• Stimulates Dopamine Receptors: By binding to these receptors, pramipexole stimulates dopamine activity in a part of the brain known as the striatum. This results in increased motor activity and a reduction in symptoms such as tremors and rigidity often seen in Parkinson's disease.

• Effect on Restless Legs Syndrome: The exact mechanism of how pramipexole helps manage Restless Legs Syndrome isn't fully understood. However, it's believed that its ability to enhance dopaminergic activity plays a significant role.
