Requip 1mg Tablet

Requip 1mg Tablet is a tablet made by Glaxo Smithkline Ltd that contains Ropinirole 1mg, a dopamine agonist. It is used for parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome. Pack size: 21 tablets.

Uses of Requip 1mg Tablet

Requip 1mg Tablet is used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, such as stiffness, slowness and tremor, either on its own in early disease or alongside levodopa later on. It is also used for moderate to severe restless legs syndrome, where it eases the uncomfortable urge to move the legs that often disturbs sleep.

How Requip 1mg Tablet works

Ropinirole acts like dopamine, a brain chemical that helps control movement. In Parkinson’s disease, the cells that make dopamine are gradually lost. Ropinirole stimulates the dopamine receptors directly, making up for some of this shortfall and improving movement.

Possible side effects

When starting Requip 1mg Tablet, some people get side effects that often lessen over time. These include:

• Nausea
• Drowsiness
• Dizziness, especially on standing
• Swelling of the legs or ankles
• Hallucinations (mainly in Parkinson's disease)

Tell your doctor about sudden sleep episodes, hallucinations or confusion, or new urges such as compulsive gambling, shopping, eating or sexual behaviour.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not drive or operate machinery if you experience sudden sleepiness or falling asleep without warning.
• Do not stop it suddenly; your doctor will reduce the dose gradually.
• Tell your doctor if you smoke or stop smoking, or take ciprofloxacin, fluvoxamine or hormone treatment, as these can change its levels.
• Let your doctor know about heart disease, liver or kidney problems or a history of mental health conditions.
• It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
