What Long-term Issues Can Overdose Of Ropinirole Lead To?
My RLS medication was recently changed to ropinirole. The pharmacy mistyped the directions on the bottle. I was to take 1 4mg tablet 1-2 hours before bedtime. They put 1 tablet in the evening and 1-2 at bedtime. I took 2 a night for1 week and suffered major side effects. What are the long term issues for this overdose ?

Hello,
It is quite tolerated and safe drug, side effects are minimal.
Very rarely it can cause conditions like orthostatic hypotension.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
