What are generics?A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, how it is taken, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name and works the same way in the body in the same amount of time.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is the generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (e.g. different shape or color), as trademark laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to invent a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name drug and sell it at substantial discounts.

Mirapex Description
Mirapex is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). This is a form of medication known as a dopamine agonist. There may be other conditions where Mirapex is a good choice of medication for you and so do not be surprised if your doctor prescribes you this medication for another condition. However you can expect a full explanation for why he or she has done so.
Mirapex Directions
As is the case with all drugs, it is vital that you carefully follow the instructions given to you by your doctor. In most cases this will be written on the label of the medicine bottle or box and you must read this information very carefully. If you do happen to have any questions about how to take this medicine then you should talk to your pharmacist, nurse or doctor and they will be happy to help you. You must not crush, break or chew this medicine and should instead swallow it whole with a glass of water. It is not important if you take this medicine with food or on an empty stomach, however you must not mix the medicine in with your food or with any liquid.
Where you keep the medicine is very important and in this case it must be stored at room temperature (77 degrees F) away from the sun and in the bottle or box provided or in an airtight container. You must take the medicine as directed by your doctor and if you can take it at the same time everyday i.e. at breakfast time, then that may help you to remember. It is very important that you take this medicine everyday as directed and do not miss a dose, even if you are feeling better. Failure to take your medicine as directed will likely result in the worsening of your symptoms. In the unfortunate scenario that you do forget to take a dose, you must take the missed dose as soon as you remember unless this is near the time of your next dose. In this case you should just forget about the missed dose and carry on with your normal schedule, as you must never take two doses of a single medication at the same time. If you have any concerns then you should contact your pharmacist, nurse or doctor for more information.
Mirapex Cautions
First and foremost you should not take Mirapex if you have experienced an allergic or other adverse reaction to it or any other ingredient that is used in the production of Mirapex. If you are worried that you may have had an adverse reaction to Mirapex in the past then you should discuss this with your doctor. Stopping a medicine suddenly will often result in a worsening of symptoms and side effects and in most cases your doctor will want you to come off a medicine slowly, a process known as tapering. There may be tests that are required by your doctor to check for side effects and/or monitor how effective the medicine is for you, however your doctor will talk to you about what is required. It is important to attend all laboratory and doctor appointments while you are taking Mirapex and additional appointments may be necessary when a change to the dose is made and during the initial starting period. You should avoid performing tasks such as driving; operating heavy machinery or any other dangerous activities until you know what effects this medicine has on you. Mirapex can make you feel dizzy therefore you should wait until you know what effects it has on your body before you partake in the above activities. Hot weather, fever, exercise and alcohol can increase severity of dizziness. You should never change or alter the dose of any medication unless you have talked it through with your doctor. It is vital that you notify your doctor or pharmacist before you begin any new medication, even if it is only one brought over the counter. This includes medicines containing cimetidine.
Mirapex may have adverse effects on the fetus in pregnant women and so all women who may be thinking about getting pregnant should weigh up the pros and cons of taking this medicine during pregnancy with their doctor. Also there is not enough research for us to know if Mirapex is excreted in the breast milk and so general advice at this time is to not breast-feed while on this medication. It is important that before you undergo any dental work or surgery of any kind that you let the dentist or doctor know that you are taking this medication. If you become dizzy while on this medication you should sit or stand up slowly and then contact your doctor. You should also try to avoid drinking any alcohol while taking this medication.
Mirapex Side Effects
As is the case with most drugs Mirapex is not without its side effects. Some of the things that you may notice when taking this medication include: headache, dizziness, sleepiness, insomnia, upset stomach, tiredness, diarrhea, constipation, or nausea. These may be minor and go away during the course of treatment, however if they do bother you then you must talk to your doctor. Mirapex was prescribed to you, as your doctor believes that the benefits will outweigh the side effects and so it is usual to expect some symptoms. However these symptoms should not cause you major discomfort and if this is the case then please talk to your doctor. You must talk to your doctor as soon as possible if you experience any sudden irresistible urge to sleep, pain shooting down the arm, chest pain, day dreams, vivid dreams, hallucinations, change in vision, confusion, or change in emotions, behavior or moods. Fortunately it is uncommon for someone to have an allergic reaction to this medicine, however they do occur and if you notice severe dizziness, a rash, itching, trouble breathing or swelling then you must seek immediate medical attention. If you experience any symptoms that worry you, even if they are not listed above, then it is vital that you talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse about it.
