the pill is about 1/4 in. in diameter-the other side is perfectly smooth. It was given to me as ropirinole, but I don't think it is.

What pill is this? I had a refill done at walmart pharm.for requip 0.5mg. This does not look like my normal pills. ## I cannot find a listing for this, however, I can tell you that the way a pill looks means nothing. Once a medication is available in generic form, it is usually made by many different companies and pharmacies will carry whichever one had the cheapest available when they were placing their restock orders. If you are in doubt, then please take your bottle to Wal-Mart and ask them to double check for you.

Please let me know if these two drugs are in the same family? ## Did you mean Flexeril? ## is the a genaric for requip ## The generic of Requip is Ropininol.

would like to know why you have to keep increasing the doesage on requip started out with one low dose been three months and up to 4 pills a day now . does this mean this pill will quit working for me . was wonderfull at firs but then seemed to have leg pain all during day too ## I am having the same problem. Did you get an answer? ## Why can,t I have sex or get an erection?........ ## can you have sex or get horney? ## Why can,t I want or need sex. ## Unfortunately many meds do hit a limit of their ability to help you, your body can adjust to almost anything, which requires upping the dosage or trying a different drug. This is called building up tolerance, and it can be experienced with everything from Tylenol to narcotics.
