Hi Ruth...I am awaiting the data sheet from SmithKline Beecham the
manufacturers and will post any information they make available.  Until then
Ropinerole is an agonist which can be used with or without levodopa. It is
supposed to have less side effects than Pergolide, and I am led to believe
it may be less expensive.   It was launched in the UK on 6th September .
Jeremy Browne(on the list) is about to start taking it and I feel sure he
will reply to you!
