Dopaminergic

Pramipexole

Pramipexole is a non-ergoline dopamine agonist used mainly to treat Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome. It works by directly stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, with a preference for the D3 subtype, standing in for the dopamine signalling that is lost in Parkinson's disease. First approved in the United States in 1997 and sold under names such as Mirapex, Mirapexin and Sifrol, it is available as immediate-release and extended-release tablets and has also been studied off-label for depression.
