USES
Some of the effects of ropinirole are similar to those of dopamine, a substance found naturally in the body. Parkinson’s disease is linked to low brain dopamine levels.
Parkinson’s disease symptoms such as stiffness, tremors, muscle spasms, and poor motor control are treated with ropinirole. Additionally, ropinirole is used to treat RLS, or restless legs syndrome.
The only ropinirole with quick release (Requip) that is authorized to treat RLS or Parkinson’s disease symptoms. The sole indication for extended-release ropinirole (Requip XL) is the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
RLS and Parkinson’s are two different conditions. It is not a cause-and-effect relationship between these conditions.
Additionally, ropinirole can be used for things not specified in this prescription guide.
