Mirapex is manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim Ltd. This medicine is a dopamine agonist used to treat Parkinson's Disease. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Why is Mirapex prescribed?
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.

Most important fact about Mirapex
If you are taking Sinemet or Larodopa, Mirapex may allow a reduction in your dosage. And if you suffer from the "on-off" effect that often develops during Parkinson's therapy (symptom-free periods alternating with severe attacks), Mirapex may extend the good "on" times and shorten your "off" periods.
How should you take Mirapex?
Take Mirapex exactly as prescribed. If it makes you nauseous, try taking it with food.When discontinuing Mirapex therapy, it's best to do it gradually. Your doctor will tell you how to taper your dose over a week's time.--If you miss a dose...Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Do not take 2 doses at the same time.--Storage instructions...
Store at room temperature; protect from light.
