Requip 1mg Tablet 21s (Box)

Requip 1mg Tablet belongs to a class of medications called non-ergoline dopamine agonists, with ropinirole hydrochloride as its active ingredient. It works by mimicking the effects of dopamine in the brain, helping to improve movement symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease and reduce uncomfortable sensations linked to restless legs syndrome. If you're starting this medication, you're probably wondering how it fits into your daily routine — it is usually started at a low dose and gradually increased according to your doctor's titration schedule. Some people experience nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, or swelling of the legs, particularly when treatment begins or after dose increases. This medication may cause sudden sleep episodes without warning and may also trigger impulse control problems, such as compulsive gambling, shopping, eating, or sexual behaviours. Regular communication with your doctor is important throughout treatment, especially if you notice changes in alertness, mood, or behaviour.

For Parkinson's disease, treatment is usually started at 0.25mg three times daily, with gradual weekly dose increases depending on response and tolerance. The maximum recommended dose may reach up to 24mg daily. For restless legs syndrome, treatment is generally started at 0.25mg once daily, taken 1 to 3 hours before bedtime, and gradually increased if required, up to a maximum of 4mg daily. Dose adjustments may be needed in patients with significant kidney impairment or those receiving dialysis.

• Ropinirole Hydrochloride – a non-ergoline dopamine agonist that activates dopamine receptors in the brain to help improve movement-related symptoms.

• Known hypersensitivity or allergy to ropinirole or any ingredient in the formulation
• Caution advised in patients with severe cardiovascular disease due to the risk of low blood pressure and fainting
• Caution advised in patients with a history of psychotic disorders, as hallucinations or behavioural changes may occur
• Caution advised in severe kidney impairment due to limited safety information
• Use during pregnancy should only be considered if clearly necessary and discussed with a doctor
• Breastfeeding should be discussed with a doctor, as ropinirole may reduce milk production
• Not recommended for use in children

Ropinirole is mainly metabolised by the CYP1A2 liver enzyme. Medicines that affect this enzyme, such as ciprofloxacin or fluvoxamine, may increase or decrease ropinirole levels and may require dose adjustment. Alcohol may worsen drowsiness and reduce alertness, so it is best avoided or limited during treatment. Inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines, supplements, and herbal products you are taking, especially dopamine-related medicines or antipsychotics.
