Used primarily in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, this compound helps improve motor function by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain. It reduces symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement. Also prescribed for moderate to severe restless legs syndrome, it helps decrease uncomfortable sensations and the urge to move the legs, especially during rest or sleep. The compound’s selectivity for dopamine D3 receptors contributes to its effectiveness with a relatively favorable side effect profile. It is taken orally and often used alone or in combination with other medications.
