    movement, muscle control, and balance or you can say that a disorder
    of the nervous system by which you’ll feel these problems like
    stiffness, slowed movements, shaking of parts of the body, and
    problems with balance.
    How should pramipexole be used?
    Pramipexole is available in the form of a tablet and an extended-release
    tablet to take by mouth. For the treatment of restless legs syndrome,
    before bedtime, the regular tablet of pramipexole medication is taken
    once a day, 2 to 3 hours. The extended-release tablets can’t be used in

    next dose then we suggest you please skip that dose and take it at the
    next dose at the regular time. Don’t take the dose at irregular times. It
    makes your dose double. Or you can take your missed dose as soon as
    you remember it. Always skip the missed dose, when you are using
