[H3] It's important to apply the Neupro Patch correctly
Take a few minutes to watch this video on how to apply the NEUPRO Patch.

[H3] Indication
NEUPRO is a prescription medicine used to treat Parkinson’s disease and moderate-to-severe
primary Restless Legs Syndrome.
[H3] Important Safety Information
NEUPRO contains a sulfite called sodium metabisulfite. Sulfites can cause severe allergic
reactions that are life threatening to some people who are sensitive to sulfites. People with
asthma are more sensitive to sulfites. Remove the patch right away and call your doctor if you
have swelling of the lips or tongue, chest pain, or trouble breathing or swallowing.
NEUPRO may make you fall asleep suddenly or without warning while doing normal activities,
such as driving, which may result in accidents. Tell your doctor right away if this happens.
Drinking alcohol or taking other medicines that cause drowsiness may increase your chances of
becoming sleepy while using NEUPRO. Do not drive, use hazardous machinery, or do other
dangerous activities until you know how NEUPRO affects you.
NEUPRO can cause or worsen psychotic symptoms including hallucinations (seeing or hearing
things that are not real), confusion, excessive suspicion, aggressive behavior, agitation,
delusional beliefs (believing things that are not real), and disorganized thinking in patients with Parkinson's disease or Restless Legs Syndrome. The chances of
having hallucinations or these other psychotic-like changes are higher in people with Parkinson’s
disease who are elderly, taking NEUPRO, or taking higher doses of NEUPRO. If you have any of
these problems, talk to your doctor.
NEUPRO can cause decreases in blood pressure, especially when you start or increase your dose.
Increases in blood pressure and heart rate, fainting, weight gain, and fluid retention also can
occur. If you faint or feel dizzy, nauseated, or sweaty when you stand up from sitting or lying
down, or have an unusually fast increase in weight, swelling, or fluid retention, especially in the
ankles or legs, tell your doctor.
Some patients using NEUPRO get urges to behave in a way that is unusual for them, such as
unusual urges to gamble, strong urges to spend money, binge eating, or increased sexual urges
and behaviors. Some patients may want to use more NEUPRO than prescribed for their symptoms (dopamine dysregulation syndrome). If you or your family notices you are developing any unusual behaviors, talk to
your doctor.
NEUPRO may cause uncontrolled, sudden movements or make such movements you already
have worse or more frequent if you have Parkinson’s disease, which may mean that your
anti-Parkinson’s medicine needs to be changed. NEUPRO also may cause Restless Legs Syndrome
symptoms to come back (rebound), become worse, or start earlier in the day.
Skin reactions may occur at the site where you apply NEUPRO. Tell your doctor if you get a rash,
redness, swelling, or itching that will not go away.
Avoid exposing the NEUPRO patch you are wearing to heating pads, electric blankets, heat
lamps, saunas, hot tubs, heated water beds, and direct sunlight. Too much medicine could be
absorbed into your body. Also, do not wear NEUPRO during medical procedures called magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) or cardioversion because this could cause skin burns.
Do not stop using NEUPRO without talking to your doctor first. If your doctor tells you to stop using NEUPRO, you should ask your doctor for specific instructions on how to slowly and safely discontinue using NEUPRO. If you stop using NEUPRO, you may have withdrawal symptoms such as fever, confusion, severe muscle stiffness, feeling like you do not care about the things you usually care about (apathy), anxiety, depression, fatigue, insomnia, sweating and pain.
Tell your doctor if you have breathing problems, a sleep disorder, mental problems, high or low
blood pressure, or heart problems; are pregnant or plan to become pregnant; or are
breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. NEUPRO may not be right for you.
The most common side effects in people taking NEUPRO for Parkinson’s disease are nausea,
vomiting, sleepiness, application site reactions, dizziness, loss of appetite, difficulty falling asleep
and staying asleep, increased sweating, vision problems, leg swelling, and uncontrolled, sudden
movements of the arms or legs. The most common side effects in people taking NEUPRO for
Restless Legs Syndrome are application site reactions, nausea, difficulty falling asleep and
staying asleep, sleepiness, and headache.
These are not all the possible side effects of NEUPRO. For more information, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088. You may also report side effects to UCB, Inc. at ucbCARES® (1-844-599-2273).

NEUPRO® (rotigotine transdermal system) is a prescription medicine used to treat Parkinson’s disease.

[H1]
The NEUPRO Patch

[H3] What is NEUPRO?

Your once-daily partner to help control Parkinson's disease
NEUPRO® (rotigotine transdermal system) is the first and only Parkinson's "patch" you wear on your skin. The NEUPRO Patch delivers the dopamine agonist rotigotine through the skin, directly into the bloodstream. It releases the medicine 24 hours a day, providing stable, continuous delivery of medication.
NEUPRO is a small, thin, flesh-colored patch that comes in 4 dosing strengths for Parkinson's disease (PD): 2 mg, 4 mg, 6 mg, and 8 mg.
It is believed that dopamine agonists work by stimulating dopamine receptors in the brain; however, the exact way NEUPRO treats PD is unknown.
If you're considering taking medicine for the first time to help control your Parkinson's symptoms, or if you're currently taking medicine and still experiencing symptoms, ask your doctor if NEUPRO could be an option for you. Just as you're determined to face the challenges before you, now you have a once-daily partner, NEUPRO, to help you manage your symptoms. Do not use NEUPRO if you are allergic to rotigotine or any of the other ingredients in the patch.
For detailed safety information on the NEUPRO Patch, see safety and side effects.

[IMG: Applying the NEUPRO® (rotigotine transdermal system) patch]

[H3] Why NEUPRO?

NEUPRO is proven to help control the signs and symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
NEUPRO may be the first medication your doctor has prescribed for you. Or your doctor may be making a change because you've reached a point where your symptom control isn't what it used to be. Or you may feel your medication isn't helping enough. This is when an honest conversation with your doctor becomes so important to decide if the NEUPRO Patch is right for you.
With NEUPRO, It's ON in so many ways, because:
In clinical trials, early-stage PD patients taking NEUPRO saw improvement in their Parkinson's symptoms, measured by a combination of motor function and activities of daily living.
Motor function can include tremors, stiffness, slowness, and problems with balance.
Activities of daily living include eating, dressing, and walking.

In clinical trials, patients with advanced PD who added NEUPRO to their existing medication had almost 2 hours less "off" time—and nearly 2.5 hours more "on" time—than patients taking a placebo.
More than twice as many PD patients taking NEUPRO woke up "on" before taking morning medication, compared to those taking placebo.

The most common side effects in people taking NEUPRO for Parkinson's disease are nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, application site reactions, dizziness, loss of appetite, difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, increased sweating, vision problems, leg swelling, and uncontrolled, sudden movements of the arms or legs.
Medicine is delivered consistently 24 hours a day.

[H3] Effective alone, or when taken with LEVODOPA

The NEUPRO Patch is proven to provide effective symptom relief for people with early- or advanced-stage Parkinson's disease. NEUPRO can be prescribed on its own, or it can be added to levodopa therapy, if your doctor thinks it is appropriate.
NEUPRO may cause uncontrolled, sudden movements or make such movements you already have worse or more frequent if you have Parkinson's disease, which may mean that your anti-Parkinson's medicine needs to be changed.

[H3] Why a patch may be right for you

NEUPRO provides stable, continuous delivery, 24 hours a day, so you get a consistent level of medication throughout the day.
The NEUPRO Patch offers once-daily dosing. Simply choose the time of day that works best for you and apply the patch at the same time each day.
The medication in the NEUPRO Patch does not go through your digestive system.
Food won't interfere with how it works
No pills to swallow
No need to schedule NEUPRO around meals
The medication in NEUPRO will not be affected by the digestive tract

NEUPRO can cause nausea, vomiting, indigestion, or upset stomach, which may occur more frequently when you first start using the patch.
Skin reactions may occur at the site where you apply NEUPRO. Tell your doctor if you get a rash, redness, swelling, or itching that will not go away.
For detailed safety information on the NEUPRO Patch, see NEUPRO safety and side effects.

NEUPRO® (rotigotine transdermal system) is a prescription medicine used to treat Parkinson’s disease.

[H1]
Understanding Parkinson’s Disease

[H3] What is Parkinson’s disease?

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic and progressive disease of the central nervous system, meaning the symptoms will continue and worsen over time. Approximately 1 million people in the United States currently have PD. It is estimated that approximately 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with PD each year.
The disease is sometimes called idiopathic Parkinson's, because the exact cause is not known. However, many Parkinson's symptoms are believed to result from a lack of dopamine, one of the brain's chemical messengers. Without enough dopamine, the neurons (nerve cells in the brain) that control movement can't function properly. This makes it difficult for people with Parkinson's to move normally. Symptoms may vary from person to person.
NEUPRO has been approved by the FDA to treat Parkinson's disease and the approval was based on improvements in symptoms measured by a combination of motor function and activities of daily living. NEUPRO is not approved for the treatment of non-motor symptoms. The following information is provided for your education and to help you understand your disease.

[H3] Movement symptoms of Parkinson's disease

There are no specific laboratory tests for Parkinson's, so doctors make the diagnosis based on the presence of typical signs and symptoms.
The primary movement symptoms, or motor symptoms, of Parkinson's can include:
Slowness of movements (bradykinesia)
Muscle rigidity (stiffness)
Resting tremor (shaking)
Impaired balance and posture
Loss of fine motor control (such as writing or buttoning a shirt)
Decreased arm swing, shuffling gait, or decreased facial expression
Parkinson's symptoms typically start on one side of the body and spread to the other side later as the disease progresses.

[H3] Underlying non-motor Parkinson’s symptoms

Not all Parkinson's symptoms involve movement. There are many underlying non-motor symptoms that can be part of PD, including:
Sleep disturbances (trouble falling asleep, night waking, vivid dreams or nightmares)
Mood changes (depression, anxiety, fear)
Digestive changes (constipation, diarrhea, trouble swallowing, drooling, nausea, upset stomach)
Fatigue/daytime sleepiness
Tingling ("pins and needles") in the hands and feet
Sexual or urinary problems
Low blood pressure when changing position (fainting or dizziness on standing)
Excessive sweating
Changes in your sense of smell or taste
Problems with thinking (forgetfulness, lack of concentration)
Pain
It is estimated that 60% of people with Parkinson's have 2 or more of these underlying non-motor symptoms and that 25% may have 4 or more.
Make sure you talk to your doctor about all your PD symptoms. It's important to understand that these changes can be directly related to Parkinson's. And for some people, these underlying non-motor symptoms can have just as much impact as movement-related symptoms.
A word about depression
It's important to recognize the signs of depression so you can get the help you need. Depression is a real illness and may or may not be related to your Parkinson's. It won't go away without treatment, so talk to your doctor if you notice any changes in your mood or your behavior.
Important: If you or someone you know is in crisis or emotional distress, please call the Lifeline Network at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). When you dial 1-800-273-TALK, you are calling the crisis center in the Lifeline Network closest to your location. To find out what center is closest to you, search the Crisis Center Locator at https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/our-network. If you need immediate assistance, please dial 911 for help.
