Its efficacy and safety in treatment of advanced Parkinson’s disease has been investigated several clinical studies. This review provides summary data currently available, particularly reference to recent results European phase III study potential tremorlytic activity pramipexole. Interim analysis open-label provided evidence long-term In another pramipexole shown be significantly superior placebo an improvement tremor score by 48% (vs. 13% group). addition its likely usefulness rest disease, suggest that interest due reported low frequency cardiovascular gastrointestinal side-effects.
