How long should I wait to see the results of Mirapex ER?

Category: Mirapex

In the trials that supported Mirapex ER’s approval, early Parkinson’s patients showed a significant reduction in motor impairment as early as 18 weeks, or about four months, after starting treatment. In advanced Parkinson’s patients, significant improvements in motor symptoms and daily off periods were seen as early as two and four weeks of treatment, respectively. However, each patient is unique, and as such, all are advised to talk with their healthcare team on how the therapy can help in their particular case.
