Edie, hello. I was startled by your above statement. Would you please
check again, for I find no where in the information insert or other
materials distributed by sales reps where MAXIMUM dosage of Mirapex is
stated. The insert talks about a suggested optimal amount of 4.5mg/d
titrated to slowly. Clinical studies of pramipexole (Mirapex) say that "at
dosages ranging from 1.5 mg/d to 6.0/d, [Mirapex]is effective, safe, and
generally well tolerated" tho not as well tolerated in the 6.0 mg/d group.
Am I misreading the available information? I suspect that for some PWP 4.5
mg/d is not their therapeutic level.
