Hello,
The change of the manufacturer does not differ with the composition of the Mirapex, however there can be changes in the storage parameters, preservatives or else. However, the company must be following the guidelines of CDC and FDA for production and hence there should not be panic regarding the quality of known companies.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
