Can I take Paracetamol and Ripinrole together?

Why this happens

Paracetamol and ropinirole are processed by different pathways in the body. Paracetamol is primarily broken down by the liver using specific enzymes that do not interfere with the way ropinirole (a dopamine agonist used for Parkinson's or Restless Legs Syndrome) works or is cleared from the system.

What you should do

You can take paracetamol while using ropinirole. Always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging for paracetamol and do not exceed the maximum daily dose. If you experience any unusual side effects, such as increased dizziness or sleepiness, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
