How do I take Mirapex ER?

Mirapex ER is administered in tablet form and taken orally with water and with or without food. Taking it with food may prevent nausea. The strength and dosing regimen is determined by the condition being treated and the patient’s profile. For Parkinson’s disease, it is taken three times daily; RLS dosing is usually two to three hours before going to bed. Follow the instructions that accompanied your prescription. If taking this medication to treat RLS, contact your doctor if the symptoms worsen or begin occurring at different times.
