IPX066 has been approved as Rytary. So folks taking it, how's it working for you?

haven't tried it, would be too costly for me. In reading the message boards, getting the right dosage seems to be a challenge for some patients and some give up. But keep in mind not that many people post on boards, probably best to read this document and then check with your insco and neuro if you want to try it.

just curious, see you are taking TEVA brand C/L, my pharmacy can't get it, can you check if your pharmacy can still get it? TEVA bought out ACTAVIS and i can get that brand but i like the TEVA better. If TEVA stops making generic sinemet that doesn't leave that many generic manufacturers.

Soccertese I could get the TEVA branded C/L at my old pharmacy, but they closed. My new pharmacy had to call 3 suppliers and finally the third one had it. The old pharmacy cost was the same cost as other C/L. The new pharmacy's cost was $24 vs 7$ for a months worth. The head pharmacist told me they were only making a dollar on that transaction. Safeway pharmacy would not even make the effort to look for it.

I just had a refill not long ago and it was filled with TEVA brand so I guess it's still available. It was at a CVS pharmacy and perhaps they have an arrangement with TEVA. If you haven't used CVS, give them a call and see what they have.
