Generic Mirapex

I have RLS and have been on mirapex for 7 years. I tried other meds, but this really works. Up until my pharmacy changed where they buy pills from. The white ones were what I was taking and had no side effects. Now they are blue or pale pink. When I take them I get very sick, headache, throwing up and nausea. My pharmacy will not order white ones for me. How can I find out name of where I can get white ones ? PLEASE Help Me. Thanks Brenda ## Hello, Brenda! How are you?

Can you ask your current pharmacy the name of the manufacture of the white ones, so you know which you're looking for?

I was diagnosed with Shy-Drager Syndrome and put on .5mg of Mirapex. You all know the cost and the doctor assured me a generic was available at a reasonable cost. Walgreens wanted $231, Walmart wanted $216, purchased at Cosco for $23 for 90ct. of .5mg. Buyer beware did not have to go to Canada . ## Mirapex is manufactured by Boehringer Ingleheim and, for anyone without insurance or with limited Medicare coverage, they do have an assistance program called RX Hope, if you qualify you may receive your medications for free or for a lower charge, based on a sliding fee scale. You can contact them for more information on how to apply at: 800-556-8317. Are there any other questions or comments?

I have been taking this for RLS for several years. It has been effective. Recently I am having difficulty getting it by Zydus. Good mark helped my RLS but gave me insomnia. What pharmacies can I obtain it by Zydus?
