Pramixole 0.5 Tablet 10'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. Pramixole 0.5 Tablet 10'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. Pramixole 0.5 Tablet 10's works by stimulating the dopamine receptors in the brain. This triggers the nerve impulses in the brain that control body movements. Pramixole 0.5 Tablet 10's helps in relieving the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, such as muscle spasms, tremors, stiffness, and poor muscle control.

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.
