Tell your doctor if you or your family\/caregiver notices that you are developing impulses or want to behave in a way that is unusual for you and that you cannot resist the impulse, the drive, or the temptation to perform activities that may harm you or others.\u00a0This is called impaired impulse control and can include behavior such as gambling addiction, excessive eating or buying behavior, abnormally high sex drive, or increased preoccupation with constant thoughts of sex or sexual feelings.\u00a0Your doctor may need to adjust your\u00a0dose\u00a0or stop your medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell your doctor if you or your family\/caregiver notice that you are developing mania (feeling upset, elated, or overexciting) or\u00a0delirium\u00a0(decreased consciousness, confusion, loss of reality).\u00a0Your doctor may need to adjust your\u00a0dose\u00a0or stop your medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell your doctor if you experience symptoms such as depression,\u00a0apathy, anxiety, fatigue, sweating, or pain after stopping or reducing the\u00a0dose\u00a0of Pramipexole Stada.\u00a0If the problems persist for more than a few weeks, your doctor may need to adjust your treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell your doctor if you develop an inability to keep your body and neck straight and upright ( axial dystonia ). If this happens, your doctor may want to change your medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pramipexole Stada prolonged-release tablet is a specially designed tablet from which the active substance is gradually released after the tablet has been swallowed. Parts of the tablets can sometimes pass and be seen in the stool ( feces ) and may look like whole tablets. Tell your doctor if you find parts of tablets in your stool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pramipexole Stada is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years of age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.\u00a0This also applies to medicines, natural remedies, health foods, or supplements that you have received without a prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avoid taking Pramipexole Stada with antipsychotic drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are taking\u00a0levodopa, the\u00a0dose\u00a0of one of\u00a0levodopa\u00a0should be reduced when you start treatment with Pramipexole Stada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be careful when using drugs that have a sedative effect or when consuming alcoholic beverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In these cases, Pramipexole Stada may affect your ability to drive and use machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be careful with alcoholic beverages during treatment with Pramipexole Stada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pramipexole Stada can be taken with or without food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When and how to take Pramipexole Stada<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Take Pramipexole Stada prolonged-release tablets only once a day at about the same time each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can take Pramipexole Stada with or without food. The tablets should be swallowed whole with water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prolonged-release tablets\u00a0must not be chewed, divided, or crushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If this should still happen, there is a risk of overdose because the drug can be released too quickly into your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dosage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n During the first week, the normal daily dose is 0.26 mg pramipexole.\u00a0Your doctor will increase the\u00a0dose\u00a0every five to seven days until your symptoms are under control (maintenance dose).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The usual maintenance dose is 1.05 mg daily.\u00a0However, one may need to be increased further.\u00a0Your doctor may increase the\u00a0dose\u00a0by up to a maximum of 3.15 mg pramipexole per day, if necessary.\u00a0A lower maintenance dose of a Pramipexole Stada 0.26 mg\u00a0prolonged-release tablet\u00a0per day is also possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Patients with kidney disease<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any kidney disease, your doctor may recommend that you take the usual starting dose of 0.26 mg\u00a0prolonged-release tablet, only every other day for the first week.\u00a0After that, your doctor may increase the dosing frequency to a 0.26 mg\u00a0prolonged-release tablet\u00a0every day.\u00a0If further dose escalation is required, your doctor may adjust the\u00a0dose\u00a0one step at a time with 0.26 mg pramipexole with each increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In severe kidney disease, your doctor may need to switch to another medicine with pramipexole. If your kidney problems worsen during treatment, you should contact a doctor as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are switching from pramipexole tablets (with immediate-release\u00a0)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Your doctor will base your\u00a0dose\u00a0of Pramipexole Stada\u00a0prolonged-release tablet\u00a0on the\u00a0dose\u00a0you took of pramipexole tablets (immediate-release\u00a0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take your pramipexole tablets (immediate\u00a0release\u00a0) as usual the day before you change.\u00a0Then take your Pramipexole Stada\u00a0prolonged-release tablet\u00a0the next morning but no more pramipexole tablets (immediate-release\u00a0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have ingested too much medicine or if e.g.\u00a0If a child has ingested the medicine by mistake, contact a doctor or hospital for risk assessment and advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may experience vomiting, inability to stand still, or any of the side effects described in section 4. \u201cPossible side effects\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you forget to take a\u00a0dose\u00a0of Pramipexole Stada, remember within 12 hours, take your tablet at once and then take the next one at the usual time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you miss a\u00a0dose\u00a0for more than 12 hours, take the next\u00a0dose\u00a0at the usual time.\u00a0Do not take a double\u00a0dose\u00a0to make up for a forgotten\u00a0dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not stop taking Pramipexole Stada without talking to your doctor first.\u00a0If you need to stop treatment, your doctor will reduce the\u00a0dose\u00a0gradually.\u00a0This reduces the risk of worsening symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have Parkinson’s disease, do not stop taking Pramipexole Stada abruptly.\u00a0A sudden interruption can cause you to develop a disease condition called a malignant neuroleptic syndrome, this condition can pose a major health risk.\u00a0Symptoms include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you stop taking Pramipexole Stada or reduce your\u00a0dose, you may also develop a medical condition called withdrawal syndrome after treatment with a dopamine agonist.\u00a0Symptoms include depression,\u00a0apathy, anxiety, fatigue, sweating, or pain.\u00a0If you get these symptoms, consult a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all medicines, this medicine can cause\u00a0side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may experience the following side effects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Very common <\/strong> (may affect more than 1 user in 10)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Uncommon (may affect up to 1 in 100 people):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rare (may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Has been reported (occurs in an unknown number of users):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor if you experience any of the above behaviors, he\/she will discuss how to manage or reduce the symptoms.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For adverse reactions marked with *, an exact frequency estimate is not possible as these adverse reactions have not been observed in clinical trials in 2,762 patients treated with pramipexole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The frequency is probably not higher than “less common”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep this medicine out of the sight and reach of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not use this medicine after the expiry date which is stated on the carton and blister after EXP. The expiration date is the last day of the specified month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No special temperature instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Store in the original package.
