			Some of the notable drug interactions include:
			*Antipsychotics (e.g. clorpromazine, haloperidol, thiothixene): May decrease the effects of pramipexole.
			*Cimetidine: May increase pramipexole levels by reducing its renal clearance.
			*CNS depressants (e.g. alcohol, antihistamines, anxiety medications, muscle relaxants, opioid pain relievers): May increase drowsiness and dizziness.
			*Dopamine antagonists (e.g. metoclopramide, antipsychotics): May reduce pramipexole's effectiveness.
			*Drugs that affect renal function: May alter pramipexole levels as it is primarily eliminated through the kidneys.

			==FAQ==
			'''How Should I Take the Tablet?

			Take pramipexole with or without food as directed by your physician. Do not crush or chew exetended-release tablets.

			'''What Should I Avoid While Taking?
