Supply problems with Parkinson’s drug Requip XL

Hi JFH,

I hope all is well.

I'm really sorry to hear about the side effects that you've been experiencing with your medication. I'd highly recommend that you contact your GP about this or the emergency services (999/112) if you continue to experience side effects. You can also call NHS 111 by dialling 111. 

I do hope you are feeling better and do keep us posted on your wellbeing.

Many thanks,

Reah

Was prescribed Ropinirole by consultant recently to take in addition to Caroldopa.was initially out of stock but now in stock but under the name of Ropiqual x

The manufacturer is based in Malta.

The leaflet states do not drive whilst taking this medication and it also states do not drink alcohol.So is it goodbye. To any remnants of normal living!

Are we not able to manufacture our own medicines in this country any more

Does Brexit have anything to do with this?

 

 

Hi Suzi2  -  I think not, if it's like the same Ropinirole that I've taken for the last nearly eight years, where I have drank alcohol and driven a car and living to tell the tale. I can't see what the problem is!! Lol
