What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Requip Overview
Requip is used alone or with other medications to treat Parkinson's disease. It can improve your ability to move and decrease shakiness (tremor), stiffness, slowed movement, and unsteadiness. It may also decrease the number of episodes of not being able to move ("on-off syndrome"). Ropinirole is also used to treat restless legs syndrome (RLS). It may improve your sleep by decreasing the urge to move your legs and decreasing uncomfortable/unpleasant feelings in the legs. Requip works by helping to restore the balance of a certain natural substance (dopamine) in the brain.
How to Use Requip

If you have any questions regarding the information, consult your doctor or pharmacist. If you are taking Requip for Parkinson's disease, take Requip by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually 3 times a day. Taking Requip with food may reduce nausea. To reduce your risk of side effects (such as drowsiness, low blood pressure), your doctor may direct you to start Requip at a low dose and gradually increase your dose. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully. If you are using Requip for RLS, take Requip by mouth, usually once daily with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually 1 to 3 hours before bedtime.

Also, if you suddenly stop using Requip, you may have withdrawal symptoms (such as anxiety, depression, confusion, fever, muscle stiffness).

If you are taking Requip for RLS, tell your doctor if your symptoms increase or get worse in the early morning, or if you start getting symptoms earlier in the evening or late afternoon. Your doctor may need to change your treatment. The Dosage of Requip is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. It may take a few weeks for Requip to take effect.
