What you will receive
Requip is the originator brand name, made by GSK. We use it here to identify the medicine only; we are not affiliated with GSK and do not ship the original Requip.
- You receive a generic equivalent: the same active ingredient (Ropinirole) at the same dose, mostly recognised branded generics from vetted manufacturers.
- The exact brand supplied depends on what is in stock at the dispatching warehouse.
- Inactive ingredients, tablet appearance and packaging can differ from the original brand; the active ingredient and dose are the same.
