Ropinirole is a medication primarily used to treat Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome. It works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps improve movement and reduce symptoms associated with these conditions. This drug is usually taken orally and can be prescribed in various dosages depending on the severity of the symptoms. Common side effects may include nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. Patients should consult their healthcare provider for proper dosage and to discuss any potential interactions with other medications.
