What Is Requip?
Requip (ropinirole) is a prescription medication used to manage restless legs syndrome (RLS). It works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps reduce the uncomfortable urges to move the legs that are characteristic of RLS. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, most patients experience meaningful relief from symptoms and improved sleep quality.

Frequently asked questions
Requip (ropinirole) is FDA-approved to treat moderate-to-severe primary restless legs syndrome (RLS) in adults. It is also approved for Parkinson disease, but this page focuses on its RLS indication.
Ropinirole is a dopamine agonist. It binds to dopamine receptors in the brain and spinal cord, which is thought to reduce the abnormal sensory signals that cause the irresistible urge to move the legs in RLS.
Requip for RLS is typically taken one to three hours before bedtime, since symptoms most often occur in the evening or at night. Your physician will give you specific dosing instructions based on your situation.
Common side effects include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, and low blood pressure upon standing. Some patients experience unusual urges (such as compulsive gambling or eating) with dopamine agonists. Tell your doctor right away if you notice these behavioral changes.
Augmentation is a phenomenon where RLS symptoms start earlier in the day, spread to other body parts, or become more intense after prolonged use of dopamine agonists like ropinirole. It is important to use the lowest effective dose and to report any worsening of symptoms to your physician.
Yes. Avoiding caffeine and alcohol, establishing a regular sleep schedule, moderate exercise, and leg massage or warm baths before bed can all help reduce RLS symptoms. If iron deficiency is present, treating it may also significantly improve symptoms.
Requip may not be appropriate for people with severe kidney disease, very low blood pressure, a history of sleep attacks, or strong compulsive behavior. Always share your full medical history with your physician so they can determine whether ropinirole is safe for you.
Doctronic uses an AI-guided evaluation to gather your medical history and symptoms, which is then reviewed by a licensed physician. The physician determines whether a diagnosis and treatment plan are appropriate. If Requip is suitable, a prescription is sent to your preferred pharmacy, all in a HIPAA-compliant environment.
