Medicinal Benefits:

Dopex-1 Tablet belongs to a group of antiparkinson agents called dopamine agonists used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and moderate to severe Willis-Ekbom disease (restless legs syndrome) in adults. Dopex-1 Tablet binds to the dopamine receptor and mimics its action. Dopamine is a naturally-occurring neurotransmitter in the brain. Dopamine is absent or reduced in people with Parkinson’s disease. Dopex-1 Tablet works by stimulating the dopamine receptors in the brain. This triggers the nerve impulses in the brain that control body movements. Dopex-1 Tablet helps in relieving the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, such as muscle spasms, tremors, stiffness, and poor muscle control.
