Requip is the first and only FDA-approved medication for the treatment of moderate-to-severe primary Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)
Are your legs keeping you up at night? Do you dread long business meetings, going to the movies, or traveling on an airplane because you know your restless legs won't let you sit still? You just know If this sounds familiar, you may have Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), which includes mild, moderate, and severe symptoms and affects approximately 1 in 10 adults in the U.S. RLS is a common medical condition characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move the legs when sitting or lying down. You may have asked yourself if anything could be done about the symptoms of RLS. Now there's Requip, a prescription medication, the first and only medication approved by the FDA for the treatment of moderate-to-severe primary Restless Legs Syndrome. If you think you're experiencing the symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), such as restless leg sensations, see your doctor. Symptoms of RLS such as tingling sensations in the leg can be similar to symptoms of other disorders, so only your doctor can diagnose RLS. There are no specific tests to diagnose RLS. Diagnosis of Restless Legs Syndrome is based on your symptoms, your medical history, and a physical exam. Blood tests may be done to rule out other conditions. See your doctor and ask if Requip is right for you. | |
