Ropinirole has some of the same effects as a chemical called dopamine, which occurs naturally
in your body. Low levels of dopamine in the brain are associated with Parkinson's disease.
Ropinirole is used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease, such as stiffness, tremors, muscle
spasms, and poor muscle control. Ropinirole is also used to treat restless legs syndrome (RLS).
Ropinirole may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
