Drug Overview: Mirapex Side Effects and Claims

Mirapex, generic pramipexole, is manufactured and distributed by a German company, Goehringer-Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, and Pfizer Pharmaceuticals in New York. Mirapex was approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease in 1997, and is one of the best-selling drugs for treating Parkinson’s. Mirapex is also prescribed for fibromyalgia, restless leg syndrome, and sometimes for depression and sleep disorders.

Parkinson’s disease occurs when the brain cells that produce dopamine die. Dopamine is a chemical essential for carrying messages related to movement, and as Parkinson’s disease patients experience dopamine deficiencies, their symptoms progress from tremors to paralysis. The Mirapex claim is that it reduces tremors and movement difficulties by attaching to the dopamine receptors in the area of the brain linked to pleasure and reward seeking.

Recent studies have raised concerns about Mirapex because of reports that it sometimes causes obsessive pleasure seeking activity, particularly compulsive gambling. See Mirapex Information and Warnings for details on the studies and information on Mirapex side effects.
