Although it is not a cure Mirapex eases the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease--a progressive disorder marked by muscle rigidity weakness shaking tremor and eventually difficulty with walking and talking. Parkinson’s disease results from a shortage of the chemical messenger dopamine in certain areas of the brain. Mirapex is believed to work by boosting the action of whatever dopamine is available. The drug can be used with other Parkinson’s medications such as Eldepryl Sinemet and Larodopa.

ADULTS

The usual starting dose is 0.125 milligrams 3 times a day. If necessary your doctor may increase the dose every 5 to 7 days until the maximum dose of 4.5 milligrams a day is reached.
