Medical uses edit

Other uses edit

The drug has been shown to enhance working memory capacities in normal aging adults.[4]

In age-related memory impairment, it has a positive effect on psychophysiological state of elderly people, improving memory and attention and increasing the velocity of psychomotor reactions and lability of nervous processes.[5]

It enhances cognitive skill learning in healthy older adults.[6]

It showed a positive effect in restless legs syndrome.[7]

Side effects edit

As with other dopamine agonists (like pramipexole and ropinirole), compulsive behavior like pathological gambling, overeating, excessive shopping, increased libido, sexual and/or other intense urges, may develop.[8][9]

Another rare side effect of piribedil is excessive daytime sleepiness and unintended sleep episodes.[9][10]

Overdose edit

At very high doses, piribedil has an emetic action on the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ). Tablets will thus be rapidly rejected, which explains why no data are currently available concerning the risk of overdosage.[medical citation needed]

Interactions edit

Dopamine antagonists reduce the effect of piribedil.[medical citation needed]
