What is this medications used for?

Doctors prescribe Neupro patches against the Restless Legs Syndrome. This condition causes itching, tingling or pain in the legs. Because the symptoms disappear when the legs are moved, this phenomenon is called Restless Legs Syndrome. The condition is not serious, but it often causes sleep problems because the symptoms usually occur during the evening and night. Neupro reduces symptoms of the Restless Legs Syndrome, thus allowing a good night's sleep again. Neupro patches are also sometimes prescribed against Parkinson's disease.

How to use Neupro?

Always apply the patch on a clean, dry skin. For example, you can use the patch on your upper arm, thigh, abdomen or shoulder. After 24 hours, remove the old patch and apply a new one. Do not apply the new patch on exactly the same spot, but pick another part of skin to avoid irritation. You can still shower, bathe and exercise: the patch does not let go easily. However, if this should happen anyway, apply a new patch. The leaflet states exactly how to get the patch out of the package and apply it onto the skin. Follow these instructions carefully.

Dosage

The pharmacies working together with Dokteronline.com offer Neupro online in various strengths. A doctor will determine which type of patch to use. The usual starting dose for the treatment of Restless Legs Syndrome is as follows:

Usually, the dose is increased after a week. A doctor will then prescribe a patch with a different strength. A different dosage may be necessary for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Read the instructions before use.
