Is Requip Right for Me?

Only your health care professional can decide if Requip is the right medication to treat your moderate-to-severe primary RLS. In some patients, Requip has been proven to:

  • Reduce the severity of symptoms after 2 nights with your starting dose
  • Help relieve the urge to move at 9 months

For some people, getting the desired response may take longer than others. With Requip, most patients start feeling some relief within 2 weeks.

Take Requip every day, the way your doctor prescribes it, even if you don’t have 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.

Be sure to read about the possible side effects of Requip.
