Neupro is a brand of central nervous system (CNS) drugs used to treat Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome. It is a dopamine agonist, meaning it works by activating dopamine receptors in the brain. Neupro is administered through a transdermal patch, which is applied to the skin and releases the drug over a period of time. The patch is designed to provide a steady, consistent dose of the drug throughout the day. Neupro is a relatively new drug, having been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2008. It is currently marketed by UCB, a Belgian biopharmaceutical company. Other companies in the CNS drug market include AbbVie, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, and Pfizer. Show Less Read more
