Mirapex: Dopamine Agonist Therapy for Parkinson’s and Restless Legs Syndrome - Evidence-Based Review

It’s a prescription medication, specifically the brand name for pramipexole dihydrochloride. It belongs to a class of drugs called non-ergot dopamine agonists. I remember when it first came across my desk years ago – it was primarily for Parkinson’s disease, but then we started noticing some… unexpected applications that changed how we manage certain conditions.
