Description
Ropark 1 Tablet contains Ropinirole (1mg), a dopamine agonist used for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). It works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, helping improve movement, coordination, and muscle control in patients with Parkinson’s disease.
In Restless Legs Syndrome, it relieves uncomfortable sensations in the legs and reduces the urge to move them, thereby improving sleep quality. It may be used alone or along with other medicines such as levodopa to manage symptoms effectively.
This medicine helps reduce tremors, stiffness, slowness, and difficulty in movement, allowing patients to perform daily activities more comfortably.
