About Prexol 1 mg Tablet 15's

Prexol 1 mg Tablet 15's belongs to a group of antiparkinson agents or dopamine agonists used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and moderate to severe Willis-Ekbom disease (restless legs syndrome) in adults. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder in which the first signs are problems with movements. Willis-Ekbom disease is a condition which causes the uncontrollable urge to move the legs.

Prexol 1 mg Tablet 15's contains 'Pramipexole' that works by mimicking the action of dopamine (acting in place of dopamine), a natural substance found in the brain needed to control body movement. This triggers the nerve impulses in the brain that control body movements.

In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as sleepiness, nausea, constipation, dizziness, fatigue, hallucinations, dry mouth, muscle spasms, and peripheral oedema (leg swelling due to fluid overload). Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

Do not discontinue Prexol 1 mg Tablet 15's on your own. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Prexol 1 mg Tablet 15's may cause drowsiness and dizziness, do not drive unless you are alert. Prexol 1 mg Tablet 15's should not be used in children below 18 years. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Prexol 1 mg Tablet 15's as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness. Rise slowly from sitting or lying position as Prexol 1 mg Tablet 15's may cause orthostatic hypotension (sudden lowering in blood pressure leading to dizziness on standing). 

Uses of Prexol 1 mg Tablet 15's

Parkinson’s disease, Willis Ekbom disease (restless legs syndrome)

Medicinal Benefits

Prexol 1 mg Tablet 15's belongs to a group of antiparkinson agents called dopamine agonists used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and moderate to severe Willis-Ekbom disease (restless legs syndrome) in adults. Prexol 1 mg Tablet 15's binds to the dopamine receptor and mimics its action. Dopamine is a naturally-occurring neurotransmitter in the brain. Dopamine is absent or reduced in people with Parkinson’s disease. Prexol 1 mg Tablet 15's works by stimulating the dopamine receptors in the brain. This triggers the nerve impulses in the brain that control body movements. Prexol 1 mg Tablet 15's helps in relieving the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, such as muscle spasms, tremors, stiffness, and poor muscle control.

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Parkinson’s disease: It is a progressive neurological disorder in which the first signs are problems with movements. Dopamine is a naturally-occurring neurotransmitter in the brain which is reduced or absent in people with Parkinson’s disease. Due to this problems arise with smooth and coordinated movements. Symptoms include decreased ability to smell, stooped posture, changes in voice, constipation, small/cramped handwriting, tremor, slow movements, stiffness of arms, legs, and trunk, and problems with balance. 

    Willis-Ekbom disease (restless leg syndrome): It is a condition which causes the uncontrollable urge to move the legs. The urge to move their legs is more intense when a person is trying to sleep or relax. This interferes with sleep leading to daytime sleepiness and fatigue. Symptoms include an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, tingling, crawling or pulling sensations in the legs.
