Ropinirole and Constipation

Hi @Gerrard,

Yes, you’re right. Unfortunately, constipation is one of the side affects to taking Ropinirole, but I wouldn’t advise that you reduce your medication without consulting your GP or Parkinson’s nurse first. In any case, you should definitely raise this with your GP as they maybe able to prescribe something to help with your constipation.

Please remember you can always give our helpline a call for more information and support on this. Feel free to contact them on 0808 800 0303 from Monday-Friday: 9am-7pm, Saturday: 10am-2pm, or you can email [email protected].

Best wishes,
Reah
