Neupro
Information
Neupro is a patch which is used to treat the early stages of Parkinson’s disease. The Neupro patch is designed as a once a day application, which provides the active ingredient rotigotine continuously to the body for 24 hours. Parkinson’s disease is when anyone suffers from lack of dopamine, which is responsible for the coordination of movement. Thus, when there is a lack of dopamine, patients are unable to control their movements reliably. Because anyone with Parkinson’s disease is at a higher risk for melanoma, it should be monitored regularly.
