Requip is a branded medicine containing ropinirole, a dopamine agonist. We list the immediate product identity simply as an oral tablet, in four strengths: 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg and 2 mg. Each strength is available from us in a particular range of pack sizes, so the practical decision is to match both the strength and tablet quantity to the treatment plan agreed with a prescriber.
Price is relevant, but it should not decide the medical part of the choice. The prescribed strength, number of tablets taken, expected period of use and timing of the next clinical review all matter. Our package comparison shows the current prices and unit values available from us without assuming that the largest pack is suitable for every reader.
Before comparing costs, check the exact name, strength and quantity on your prescription or dispensing label. Requip tablets are taken by mouth, and the strengths should not be treated as interchangeable merely because they contain the same active ingredient. A different strength may change the number of tablets required and must not be substituted without appropriate advice.
The comparison below presents the pack quantities, exact prices, per-tablet values and relative savings currently available from us. It is the appropriate place to compare our current commercial options because prices may vary by both strength and quantity.
A lower cost per tablet can indicate better unit value, but it does not show whether every tablet is likely to be used appropriately. A smaller pack may be more practical when treatment has recently started, the dose is being reviewed or the next appointment is near. A larger pack may be worth considering after the dose and expected period of use are clear, but not solely because its unit price is lower.
Also consider the total amount payable rather than focusing only on the unit figure. The lowest upfront price and the lowest price per tablet are different measures. Neither replaces the need to confirm the prescribed strength, assess how many tablets are expected to be used and check the expiry information when the package arrives.
Ropinirole treatment is commonly started at a low dose and adjusted gradually according to response and tolerability. That makes strength and quantity separate decisions: a pack may contain a suitable number of tablets but still be unsuitable if its strength does not match the prescribed plan.
| Strength | Pack sizes we offer |
|---|---|
| 0.25 mg | 60, 90, 180 or 360 tablets |
| 0.5 mg | 60, 90, 120, 180, 270 or 360 tablets |
| 1 mg | 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 270 or 360 tablets |
| 2 mg | 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 or 270 tablets |
These checks can help narrow the available options:
Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome use different dosing patterns. Even within the same indication, schedules can vary between people and stages of treatment. Our quantity table therefore describes the packages we offer, not a recommended duration or an individual dosing plan.
Requip is the authoritative brand name for this listing, while ropinirole is its active ingredient and generic name. A medicine described only as ropinirole is not automatically the same catalogue product: brand, strength, dosage form, release characteristics and instructions all need to be checked before any substitution.
Pramipexole and rotigotine are other dopamine agonists. Levodopa/carbidopa, rasagiline, selegiline, amantadine and apomorphine may also form part of Parkinson's disease treatment strategies, while gabapentin enacarbil may be discussed in relation to restless legs syndrome in some settings. These medicines are not products we currently list and are included only to explain the wider treatment context. Their doses are not equivalent to ropinirole, and switching requires clinical supervision.
Ropinirole tablets are used in adults for Parkinson's disease and for moderate-to-severe idiopathic restless legs syndrome. In Parkinson's disease, the medicine can help manage movement symptoms associated with reduced dopamine activity. In restless legs syndrome, it can reduce the urge to move the legs and the associated unpleasant sensations, which are often more noticeable during rest in the evening or at night.
The purpose, timing and dose can differ substantially between these conditions. The presence of both indications does not mean that the same schedule applies to each, and this page cannot determine which indication or dose is appropriate for an individual. The pack selected from our catalogue should correspond to the treatment already directed by a prescriber.
Ropinirole stimulates dopamine receptors in the brain and acts as a dopamine agonist. In Parkinson's disease, this helps compensate for reduced dopaminergic activity involved in movement control. Its benefit in restless legs syndrome is also associated with dopamine-receptor activity, although the condition and its treatment should not be understood as identical to Parkinson's disease.
Requip tablets are swallowed by mouth according to the prescribed schedule. Taking ropinirole with food may reduce nausea, particularly during the early stages of treatment or after a dose increase. Consistent timing is important, but the appropriate time and frequency depend on the indication and the instructions provided by the prescriber.
Do not increase the dose simply because symptoms remain troublesome, and do not stop treatment abruptly without medical advice. Ropinirole is normally reduced gradually when treatment is discontinued. If a dose is missed, follow the advice in the patient information leaflet or ask a pharmacist rather than taking extra tablets without guidance.
Keep a clear record of the strength in use when several strengths have been prescribed during dose adjustment. Tablets of different strengths should remain in their labelled containers so that they are not confused. Never share the medicine with another person, even if that person reports similar symptoms.
Ropinirole is not recommended during pregnancy unless the potential benefit outweighs the possible risk. It should not be used while breastfeeding because it may inhibit milk production, and information about passage into human milk is limited. The tablets are not recommended for children or adolescents under 18 because safety and effectiveness have not been established in this age group.
Ciprofloxacin and other medicines that inhibit the CYP1A2 enzyme can increase ropinirole exposure. Dopamine antagonists, including some antipsychotics and anti-sickness medicines, may reduce its effect. Alcohol and other sedating medicines may worsen drowsiness. Smoking changes can also affect ropinirole exposure because tobacco smoke influences CYP1A2 activity. Tell a prescriber or pharmacist about prescribed medicines, over-the-counter products and relevant lifestyle changes before treatment is started or adjusted.
Ropinirole is a prescription-only medicine in the United Kingdom. That regulatory classification is separate from our ordering policy. We do not require customers to submit a prescription through our checkout, but this does not change the medicine's UK status, replace a clinical assessment or make self-selection of a strength appropriate.
If the prescribed strength, schedule or quantity is unclear, resolve that question with a prescriber before ordering. Our pharmacist-supported team can explain product information and help with practical questions about the strengths and packages we offer, but support cannot diagnose a condition or independently alter a prescribed regimen.
NHS supply and prescription arrangements are separate from our catalogue and checkout. We do not make claims here about NHS eligibility, prescription charges, exemptions, reimbursement or insurance. Suspected side effects in the UK can be reported to the MHRA through the Yellow Card scheme as well as discussed with a healthcare professional.
After confirming the required strength and quantity, select the matching option from our catalogue and review the current total in our checkout. Our ordering policy does not require a prescription upload. Check the product name, strength, tablet count, delivery details and payment information carefully before confirming the order.
We have operated online since 2018. Our support is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week by email and online chat, and pharmacist support is available when a medicine-related question needs appropriate input. We do not state a delivery time on this guide because no specific delivery estimate has been supplied; use the information shown during our ordering process for the applicable option.
When the package arrives, check that the name, strength and quantity match the order before taking any tablets. Contact our support team promptly if the delivered product appears incorrect or damaged. Questions about how to take the medicine or whether treatment should change should be directed to a prescriber or pharmacist.
The most useful comparison combines medical suitability with commercial value. First confirm the prescribed 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg or 2 mg strength. Then estimate the appropriate tablet quantity from the prescribed schedule and expected review date. Only after those points are clear should the current package price and per-tablet value influence the choice.
Store Requip tablets at 20°C to 25°C; brief excursions from 15°C to 30°C are permitted. Protect them from light and moisture, and keep them in the original tightly closed container. Consider the available storage period and expiry date before choosing a large quantity.
Our package comparison near the beginning of this guide is the reference for the current prices, quantities, unit values and relative savings available from us. It allows a direct comparison without suggesting that the lowest unit price is automatically the right order. The best-supported choice is the package that matches the correct strength, a reasonable expected quantity and the treatment plan already established with a prescriber.
I'm in Sheffield and want to make sure ropinirole can be delivered to my postcode before I place the order. Can I check this first?
Yes. Please enter your Sheffield postcode in the delivery options at checkout before paying; the available options there will show whether delivery to your address is available.
My ropinirole order for Derby has been marked as dispatched. Does that mean it will arrive tomorrow?
Not necessarily. Dispatch means the order has been sent; delivery depends on the delivery option selected and your location in Derby.
I live in Belfast. Can I confirm whether ropinirole can be delivered to my address before I pay?
Yes. Use your Belfast postcode in the checkout delivery options before payment. Availability should be confirmed there rather than assumed for Northern Ireland.
I left my tablets in the bathroom cabinet and a few now look discoloured. Should I still take them?
Do not use tablets that have visibly changed in colour, texture or appearance until they have been checked. Keep the pack and compare its label, lot number and expiry date with the affected tablets when seeking advice from a pharmacist.

I'll be back for another order.
The seals were intact, and nothing in the parcel was damaged.
I chose the 0.25 mg pack of 180. It means I won't need another order soon.
