An Introduction to Side Effects of Pramipexole ER
As with any medicine,
pramipexole ER (
Mirapex® ER™) can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes the medication will have problems. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. If reactions do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or are treated easily by you or your healthcare provider.
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with pramipexole ER. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list with you.)
