Overview

Sifrol Extended Release 1.5mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) presented as a tablet, with Pramipexole 1.5mg (extended-release) as its active ingredient content.

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information, in line with Malaysian rules on prescription medicine information for the public. Your prescriber or pharmacist is the right source for anything beyond that, together with the leaflet inside the pack.

Through DoctorOnCall, this product is supplied after an online consultation with a licensed doctor and a valid prescription, and it is checked by a registered pharmacist before dispensing. Take it exactly as prescribed, and speak to your doctor before stopping, changing the dose, or starting any other medicine alongside it.

Directions for Use

Take Sifrol Extended Release 1.5mg Tablet once daily, at about the same time each day, and swallow the tablet whole without crushing or chewing it, as this is an extended-release formulation. Do not stop this medicine suddenly without your doctor’s advice, as abrupt withdrawal can cause withdrawal symptoms or, rarely, a fever and confusion resembling neuroleptic malignant syndrome.

Dosage

Treatment usually starts at a low dose and is gradually increased (titrated) over several weeks under close medical supervision, based on your response and tolerability, until an effective dose is reached. Your doctor will determine your specific starting dose, titration schedule, and maintenance dose.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
