Are you Looking to Buy Neupro (Rotigotine) from PrescriptionPoint.

Neupro (rotigotine)

Indications

• Neupro transdermal patch is indicated for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
• Used to treat moderate-to-severe primary Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS).

Dosage and Administration

• Apply Neupro exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily.
• Place the patch on a clean, dry, and hairless area of skin on your stomach, thigh, hip, side of the body, shoulder, or upper arm.
• Press the patch firmly in place for about 30 seconds to ensure good contact with the skin.
• Rotate the application sites daily to avoid skin irritation, ensuring that the same site is not used again for at least 14 days.
• Apply a new patch, if the patch falls off, for the remainder of the dosing interval.
• Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the patch.
• Do not apply the patch to areas of skin that are red, irritated, or damaged.
• Avoid using lotions, oils, or powders on the skin area where the patch will be applied, as they can affect the adherence of the patch.
• Do not expose the patch to external heat sources, such as heating pads or hot baths, as this can increase the absorption of the drug.
• Do not cut the patch into smaller pieces.

Mechanism of Action

Neupro contains Rotigotine, a non-ergoline dopamine agonist. It works by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain, which helps improve the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and Restless Legs Syndrome by compensating for the decreased dopamine levels in these conditions.

Contraindications

• Do not use Neupro if you have a known allergy to Rotigotine or any other ingredients in the patch.
• Avoid using Neupro if you have severe skin reactions to adhesives or other transdermal medications.

Precautions

• Inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions or medications you are taking before using Neupro.
• Be cautious if you have a history of heart disease, low blood pressure, or mental health conditions.
• Monitor for signs of sudden sleep onset and avoid activities requiring full alertness, such as driving, until you know how Neupro affects you.
• Regularly check the application site for signs of severe irritation or allergic reactions.
