Hallucinations: Ropinirole causes hallucinations for about 5% of people who take it and for about 10% of people who take it at the same time as levodopa. The incidence of hallucinations increases as the dose increases. If you experience hallucinations or are aware of a person who is taking ropinirole experiencing hallucinations, contact the doctor as soon as possible.

Heart disease: Teva Ropinirole has not been studied for use by people with significant heart disease. If you have heart disease and are taking ropinirole, discuss with your doctor how Teva Ropinirole may affect your medical condition, and how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Teva Ropinirole. Your doctor will want to monitor your heart condition closely while you are taking ropinirole.

Kidney function: If you have reduced kidney function or Kidney Disease, discuss with your doctor how Teva Ropinirole may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Teva Ropinirole, and whether any special monitoring is needed

Your doctor will monitor you for skin cancer while you are taking Teva Ropinirole. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns.

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS): As with other medications that have an effect on movement disorders, ropinirole can trigger a potentially fatal set of symptoms known as neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS).

Pregnancy: The use of ropinirole during pregnancy is not recommended. If you become pregnant while taking Teva Ropinirole, contact your doctor immediately.
