Other medicines and Neupro: Tell the doctor or pharmacist if taking or have recently taken or might take any other medicines.
Do not take the following medicines while using Neupro, because they may decrease its effect: anti-psychotics (used to treat certain mental conditions) or metoclopramide (used to treat nausea and vomiting).
If treated with Neupro and levodopa at the same time, some side effects may get more serious, such as seeing or hearing things that are not real (hallucinations), involuntary movements related to Parkinson's disease (dyskinesia), and swelling of legs and feet.
Please ask the doctor whether it is safe to: take medicines that lower blood pressure. Neupro may decrease blood pressure when standing up; this effect may worsen by the medicine used to lower blood pressure.
Take sedating medicines (for example, benzodiazepines, medicines used to treat mental conditions or depression) while using Neupro.
Neupro with food, drink and alcohol: Because rotigotine enters the bloodstream through the skin, food or drink does not affect the way this medicine works. Discuss with the doctor if it is safe to drink alcohol while using Neupro.
