Prexol 0.50 Tablet 15 contains pramipexole (0.5 mg), which acts on the brain in the following ways:

• Dopamine Receptor Stimulation: Pramipexole attaches to and activates dopamine receptors in the brain, particularly the D2 and D3 subtypes, mimicking the effects of dopamine which is not present in Parkinson's disease.

• Neurotransmitter Balance: It helps restore the balance of chemical messengers in areas of the brain that control movement and coordination, improving motor function in patients with Parkinson's disease.

• Central Nervous System Effects: Pramipexole reduces the uncomfortable sensations in the legs and decreases the urge to move them, providing relief for people with Restless Legs Syndrome.

• Brain Signal Regulation: It modifies the abnormal brain signals that cause tremors and rigidity, helping to reduce these symptoms in patients with movement disorders.
