Pexiol 0.5 Tablet belongs to a group of antiparkinson agents or dopamine agonists used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and moderate to severe Willis-Ekbom disease (restless legs syndrome) in adults. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder in which the first signs are problems with movements. Willis-Ekbom disease is a condition which causes the uncontrollable urge to move the legs.
Pexiol 0.5 Tablet contains 'Pramipexole' that works by mimicking the action of dopamine (acting in place of dopamine), a natural substance found in the brain needed to control body movement. This triggers the nerve impulses in the brain that control body movements.
In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as sleepiness, nausea, constipation, dizziness, fatigue, hallucinations, dry mouth, muscle spasms, and peripheral oedema (leg swelling due to fluid overload). Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
