Summary

Main use
Treatment of idiopathic Parkinson's disease
Who takes it
Adults
Adult dose
Idiopathic Parkinson's disease Take this medicine once daily at the same time with water. Swallow it whole without chewing, splitting, or crushing it. It may be taken with or without food. If a dose is missed, take this medicine within 12 hours after the scheduled dosing time. If more than 12 hours have passed, skip the missed dose and take the next dose according to the regular schedule. 1. Patients with normal renal function 1) Initiation of therapy Start with a total daily dose of 0.375mg/day and gradually increase it. Increase the dose approximately once every 5-7 days and do not increase it more frequently. If intolerable adverse reactions do not occur, the dose may be increased to the maximum therapeutic dose. The increases recommended based on clinical trials are as follows. Week Total daily dose (mg) Dose (mg) 1 0.375 0.375 2 0.75 0.75 3 1.50 1.50 If further increases are needed, the dose may be increased by 0.75mg at weekly intervals up to a maximum of 4.5mg daily. Patients already taking immediate-release pramipexole may switch to this medicine at the same total daily dose, with the switch made overnight. 2) Maintenance therapy The dose per administration ranges from 0.375mg to a maximum of 4.5mg daily. In pivotal clinical trials, efficacy was observed at daily doses starting from 1.5mg during dose titration in both early and advanced Parkinson's disease. Some patients may experience additional therapeutic benefit at doses higher than 1.5mg. This regimen is particularly applicable to patients with advanced Parkinson's disease for whom a reduction in levodopa dose is planned. In patients taking this medicine with levodopa, a reduction in levodopa should be considered during pramipexole dose increases and maintenance therapy, as necessary to avoid excessive dopaminergic stimulation. 2. Patients with renal impairment Pramipexole elimination depends on renal function. The following dosing schedule is proposed for initiation of therapy: Renal function Initial dose (mg) Maximum dose (mg) creatinine CL>50ml/min No adjustment to the daily dose or dosing frequency is required. creatinine CL=30~50ml/min 0.375mg once every 2 days 2.25mg once daily creatinine CL<30ml/min As the use of this medicine in these patients has not been adequately studied, use of immediate-release pramipexole should be considered. If renal function declines during maintenance therapy, follow the recommendations above. 3. Discontinuation Reduce the dose of this medicine by 0.75 mg/day until the daily dose has been reduced to 0.75 mg, and thereafter reduce it by 0.375 mg/day.

Precautions

This medication may cause sudden sleep or drowsiness during administration, so special caution is required when driving or operating dangerous machinery. If drowsiness worsens while taking this medication, contact a doctor immediately, especially if sedatives or sleep disorders are present. Mental abnormalities such as hallucinations or confusion may occur, so elderly patients should be closely monitored for these symptoms. This medication may lower blood pressure, leading to symptoms of orthostatic hypotension, such as dizziness or fainting upon standing. Patients with impaired kidney function or cardiovascular disease should adjust the dosage or consult a doctor before administration. This medication may interact with other drugs, so if there are any concomitant medications, ensure to inform your doctor or pharmacist. During pregnancy or breastfeeding, the safety of this medication has not been established, so it should only be administered after consulting a doctor. It is not recommended for children since the safety and efficacy of this medication have not been established in this population. Elderly patients may have reduced kidney function leading to slower drug excretion; therefore, dosage adjustment and monitoring for adverse reactions are necessary. In case of overdose, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, hallucinations, and low blood pressure may occur, and immediate contact with a healthcare facility is required. When storing this medication, keep it out of the reach of children and store it away from light and moisture, without transferring it to another container.
