Dopamine Agonist (Pramipexole)
for Restless Legs Syndrome
A prescription dopamine agonist that is the most effective pharmacological treatment for moderate-to-severe RLS, significantly reducing the urge to move and sleep disruption.
How it works
RLS is associated with dopaminergic dysfunction in the basal ganglia. Pramipexole activates D2/D3 dopamine receptors, restoring normal sensorimotor inhibition.
What to watch for
Augmentation (symptom worsening with earlier onset) is a significant long-term side effect. Other side effects: nausea, sudden sleep attacks, impulse control disorders. Iron levels should be checked before starting.
