Can I take 0.70mg and Pramipexole together?

Why this happens

Both alcohol and pramipexole affect the central nervous system. Pramipexole works on dopamine receptors in the brain, while alcohol is a depressant. Together, they have an 'additive effect,' meaning they make each other's sedative properties much stronger.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking pramipexole. Because this medication can cause you to fall asleep suddenly, you must be extremely cautious. Do not drive or operate machinery if you have consumed any alcohol or if you feel sleepy. If you experience increased dizziness or confusion, speak to your doctor.
