Rotigotine is a once-daily transdermal patch which provides continuous delivery of the dopamine agonist over 24 hours. The Japanese approval of rotigotine is supported by randomized, controlled clinical studies in Japanese patients which have demonstrated its efficacy and safety in the treatment of PD and RLS. These studies have added to the existing data for rotigotine which has led to previous approvals in other regions such as Europe and the US.
