Given the history of their manufacturing problems, people may want to wait a few months before trying it to make sure there are no reported issues.

After reading the company precautions on rytary, I wonder how many will qualify to take this drug. Not my wife who has had PD for 13 years and has very serious hallucinations.

read the insert for carbidopa/levodopa, likely very similar warnings.

if water came with a FDA required insert we likely wouldn't drink it.

will be very expensive.

imho not much of an endorsement, they think it will cost $9/day or similar to stalevo

I was on an analyst call with the company. They still haven't release pricing information but some are predicting as high as $12/day. It will be interesting to see what the health insurers do in terms of coverage. Wouldn't be surprised to see some refuse to cover the drug.

Hi,
My name is David, I am a 55 man diagnosed in 1999 with PD. Does anyone know what the difference between Rytary and Sinemet CR? Also is there anyone in the group who was part of an FDA trial of Rytary, prior to its approval?

Hi. I was a participant in the trials of IPX-066, now called Rytary. It worked really well for me. I was really upset that Impax couldn't find a way for trial participants to continue to receive the limited amount of trial drugs they were able to produce while they fixed their large scale manufacturing process. The multi-year delay is very painful.

I'm hoping that the company will do the right thing this time around and see that the people who took the risks to participate in the trials are given early access to Rytary at reasonable costs.

illbethere, thank you for the information about your participation in the IPX-066 trials. It will be available for everyone on Feb. 23, which is less than three weeks.

I hope you're correct about the fact that it will be available on Feb 23? Has the company published this date?
