Suggest Medication For Restless Leg Syndrome

default
Posted on Thu, 30 Jul 2015
Question: My father takes Losartan Sandox 100 mg and Salures 2.5 mg to calm his heart down. He has what is called restless legs and cannot sit still on a flight more then 3 hours. Is there a muscle relaxing pill working with his heart medicine that he can take to avoid feeling what he does during longer flights.

Brief Answer:
He can take ropinirole safely for this alongside Losartan and Saluron!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this restless leg syndrome that your father has. There are medications which can be safely taken with his blood pressure drugs. They are very safe. However, they all require a doctors prescription that cannot be issued online. Ropinirole is a good drug for this. I will suggest that you talk to his doctor about this and get a script to help him stay calm when he goes for long on the plane.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
