Hi,

I am so sorry to hear about this side effects that you have reported. These are typical of the drug pramipexole that she is taking. I believe the benefits for her disease condition merit that she continues with this drug. I will like that you also advise her to sip water often to relief mouth dryness, eats fruits and vegetables to alleviate constipation. I hope these would get better with time but these are some of the undesired consequences trying to treat disease conditions,


I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
