Long Answer
Ropinirole is a non-ergoline dopamine agonist and may be used by itself or with other medication in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, and more recently, Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).
Parkinson's disease (also known as Parkinson disease or PD) is a group of degenerative disorders of the central nervous system caused by a loss of dopamine-producing brain cells. It affects muscles control and can cause tremors or other motor control and posture problems.
RSL is a neurologic movement disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move the legs. It can also be accompanied by uncomfortable or painful sensations in the legs that are often described as creeping, burning, or twitching.
