Advice & Tips
This medication was withdrawn by the manufacturer...if it hadn't been I would have had to stop anyway...as I delveloped a severe skin reaction to the patch. If the medication had been on a paper or silk binder, instead of the silicone...I don't think this would have been a problem.

About Neupro Patch (Prescription Drug)

Neupro is a brand name for rotigotine, a dopamine agonist drug delivered slowly across the skin by means of a transdermal patch, worn for 24 hrs at a time. The aim is to provide a slow, steady stream of dopamine in order to reduce symptoms and on/off fluctuations experienced in Parkinson's disease.
