Description:

Role Tablet is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and restless leg syndrome (an urge to move the legs usually accompanied or caused by uncomfortable and unpleasant leg sensations). It helps to treat excessive shaking by slowing down the body movements.

Role Tablet is taken by mouth preferably before bedtime with food to avoid nausea. However, take it at the same time each day as this helps to maintain consistent level of medicine in the body. Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor and if you have missed a dose, take it as soon as you remember it. You should never skip any doses and finish full course of treatment even if you feel better. It is important that this medication is not stopped suddenly without talking to doctor as may result in harmful effects.

Some common side effects of this medicine includes headache, hallucination and confusion. Initially this medicine may cause sudden drop in the blood pressure when you change positions, so it is better to rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down. It also causes dizziness and sleepiness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you.


It is important to inform doctor if you develop any unusual changes in mood, an abnormally high sex drive, an urge to gamble or uncontrolled spending as these may prove very harmful.

FAQs:

What are the warning symptoms that should prompt me to discontinue therapy?

You may develop several warning symptoms that would suggest that the treatment needs to be discontinued. You may develop compulsive behavior such as gambling, increase in sex drive, compulsive shopping and eating. You may notice that your symptoms are getting worse (start earlier than usual or are more intense, affect other parts of the body, such as the arms, and symptoms return early in morning). If you notice these symptoms, consult your doctor immediately.

How long does Role Tablet take to work?

You may be able to see improvement within a week. However, it may take longer and differs from individual to individual.

Can I stop taking Role Tablet if I do not see any improvement in my symptoms?

No, you should not stop taking Role Tablet on your own as you may experience anxiety, depression, lack of interest, tiredness, sweating and severe pain in the leg. The dose should be reduced slowly. In some patients, it may take longer to see improvement but not beyond 12 weeks. Communicate to your doctor if you want to stop it.

Can I take gabapentin and Role Tablet together?

Affirmative, you can take gabapentin and Role Tablet together. However, be careful as taking these two medicines together may cause excessive drowsiness, dizziness and decrease your mental alertness. So, you may have to avoid driving, operating machinery or working at heights while taking the two medicines together.

Is Role Tablet used for pain?

No, Role Tablet is not used to relieve pain. It acts by increasing the levels of a chemical messenger (dopamine) in the brain, which is deficient in case of restless leg syndrome. This, in turn, relieves the discomfort and reduces the involuntary limb movements that disrupt night-time sleep.

How often can I take Role Tablet?

For restless leg syndrome, take Role Tablet once a day. It is usually taken just before bedtime, but you can take it up to 3 hours before going to bed. For Parkinson’s disease, it is usually taken three times a day.

Is Role Tablet safe?

Affirmative, Role Tablet is safe if taken in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. It is a well-tolerated medicine. The common side effects of Role Tablet are nausea, dizziness, headache, and sleepiness which are typically worse during the first two weeks of treatment and may require dose reduction but rarely discontinuation of drug.
