Important Information about MIRAPEX: MIRAPEX is indicated for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Patients have reported falling asleep without perceived warning signs during activities of daily living, including operation of a motor vehicle, which sometimes resulted in accidents. Hallucinations and postural (orthostatic) hypotension may occur. In clinical trials for early PD, the most commonly reported side effects of MIRAPEX that were more frequent than with placebo are nausea (28% vs. 18%), dizziness (25% vs. 24%), somnolence (22% vs. 9%), insomnia (17% vs. 12%), asthenia (14% vs. 12%), and constipation (14% vs. 6%). In clinical trials for advanced PD, the most commonly reported side effects of MIRAPEX that were more frequent than with placebo are postural hypotension (53% vs. 48%), dyskinesia (47% vs. 31%), extrapyramidal syndrome (28% vs. 26%), insomnia (27% vs. 22%), dizziness (26% vs. 25%), accidental injury (17% vs. 15%), hallucinations (17% vs. 4%), and dream abnormalities (11% vs. 10%).

Patients and caregivers should be informed that impulse control disorders and compulsive behaviors have been reported in patients taking dopamine agonists, including MIRAPEX.
