Can a person with heart disease take Mirapex?



If a heart patient has restless leg syndrome, can he take Mirapex ?

Ask a doctor or pharmacist...
Just a wild idea but instead of asking 13 year old kids on Yahoo Answers, you MIGHT want to call your doctor or pharmacist instead.
Check with a Docotr or Pharmacist
Mirapex appears to be safe for patients with heart disease, however, Mirapex does caution:

Before taking pramipexole, tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:
路 the stomach medicines cimetidine (Tagamet, Tagamet HB), ranitidine (Zantac, Zantac 75), or metoclopramide (Reglan);
路 the heart medicines diltiazem (Cardizem, Dilacor XR, Tiazac), verapamil (Verelan, Calan), triamterene (Dyrenium, Dyazide, Maxzide), or quinidine (Quinaglute, Cardioquin, Quinidex, others);
路 the malaria and leg cramp medicine quinine (Quinamm); or
路 a medication used to treat mania, schizophrenia, other psychiatric conditions, and nausea and vomiting, such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine), fluphenazine (Prolixin), mesoridazine (Serentil), perphenazine (Trilafon), thioridazine (Mellaril), promazine (Sparine), trifluoperazine (Stelazine), thiothixene (Navane), haloperidol (Haldol), and others.
鈥? You may require special monitoring or a dosage adjustment if you are taking any of the medicines listed above

Also, if your patient is over 65, Mirapex may cause hallucinations.

As a dopamine substitute, Mirapex is supposed to be effective agtainst Parkinson's Disease.

A site I use for work for drug interactions says to let your doc know if you have heart disease or heart problems when taking Mirapex. If you can't see a doc, at least call the pharmacy near you and ask them.. they'll be able to tell you.
