Pronirol contains the active substance ropinirole hydrochloride which belongs to a group of medicines called dopamine agonists. Dopamine is a natural substance occurring in the brain. Dopamine agonists (such as Pronirol) work in the same way as dopamine found in the body.

Pronirol is used:
• in Parkinson’s disease under the following conditions:
o first-line treatment as monotherapy to delay the need for initiation of levodopa therapy
o as adjunctive treatment with levodopa during the course of the disease when the effect of levodopa therapy wears off or becomes inconsistent and when fluctuations in the therapeutic effect occur (“end-of-dose” fluctuations or “on-off” effects).
• Pronirol is also indicated for the symptomatic treatment of moderate to severe idiopathic Restless Legs Syndrome.
Pronirol relieves discomfort and reduces the uncontrollable urge to move the limbs that disrupts night time sleep.
