Your Side Effects May IncludeMirapex side effects
pramipexole
This side effect is printed on the FDA label for Mirapex. It was a question in our daily quiz, where you pick the real side effect from four choices.
Intense urges to gamble
The label also lists compulsive shopping and binge eating. Casinos were not consulted.
“patients can experience intense urges to gamble, increased sexual urges, intense urges to spend money uncontrollably, binge eating, and/or other intense urges and the inability to control these urges”
Tell your doctor about new urges you can't control. Family members often notice before you do.
327 reports to the FDA's adverse event system mention gambling. A report is not proof the drug caused it. See the query
