Good morning Nancy and Charlie. In Denmark it`s by law that we have package insert in the boxes. ( I presume the word "package insert ALSO means "explanation") ??!! That`s hard to be A Dane sometimes :-)) In the beginning I was a little scared to read about all the sideeffect - in a way I expected to get them all. But very fast I found out, after a good talk with my neuro, that I had no trouble with my ordinary medicin as Sinemet CR and Permax. I always bring the package with me - just in case - as when I went to the emergency because I couldn`t tolerate Tasmar. Tasmar was so new at that point that the doctors didn`t know how to treat me until they called a neuro. Now I take Pramipexol 0.7 mg, and I brought it with me to a dental surgery department at The University Hospital of Aarhus, so both the anaesthetist and the people who cared me was aware about all that medicin I have to take. Both the very nice people at the hospital and I felt more calm because it was in my file.Very few outside our neurologists know much about our PD medicin. I`m dooing very well with Pramipexol and have NO sideeffect, and that`s nice.
