Can I drive while taking Mirapex ER?

Category: Mirapex

Some people on Mirapex ER may experience severe sleepiness or suddenly fall asleep during daily activities. Until patients know how the therapy affects them, those starting Mirapex ER are recommended to avoid driving or other activities that may be potentially dangerous if the individual becomes somnolent. If patients do experience such adverse events, they are advised to talk with their doctor.
