Pramipexole Dihydrochloride Mechanism of Action – How Does Pramirol Work?
Pramipexole Dihydrochloride is a medication used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome (LS). Pramirol tablets belongs to the class of drugs known as dopamine agonists.
Parkinson’s Disease: The precise mechanism of action of Pramipexole as a treatment for Parkinson's disease is unknown, although it is believed to be related to its ability to stimulate dopamine receptors in the striatum. This conclusion is supported by electrophysiologic studies in animals that have demonstrated that pramipexole influences striatal neuronal firing rates via activation of dopamine receptors in the striatum and the substantia nigra, the site of neurons that send projections to the striatum. The relevance of D3 receptor binding in Parkinson’s disease is unknown.
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS): The precise mechanism of action of Pramirol (Pramipexole Dihydrochloride) tablets as a treatment for Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is unknown. Although the pathophysiology of RLS is largely unknown, neuropharmacological evidence suggests primary dopaminergic system involvement. Positron Emission Tomographic (PET) studies suggest that a mild striatal presynaptic dopaminergic dysfunction may be involved in the pathogenesis of RLS.
