How Long Do I Take Requip?

Requip treats the symptoms of moderate-to-severe primary Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), but cannot make the condition go away. Continue to take Requip as prescribed. If you stop taking it, your RLS symptoms will most likely come back, and you may end up having to start all over by taking the lowest dose and working your way up again.

Staying on Schedule

Take Requip daily as prescribed by your health care professional, even if you don't experience symptoms every day.

RLS is a long-term condition, so your symptoms can change over time. If this occurs, your doctor may want to see you and consider changing your dose of Requip.

It’s important to stay on the dosing schedule your health care provider has prescribed for you.
