Has Anyone Switched To Rytary For Pd -
My husband has been taking Rytary for about a year now and it seems to help as compared to the other drugs - he was diagnosed 7 years ago at age 70 but there were signs we did not recognize until after the diagnosis - problem is it costs about $600 a month co-pay - occasionally we are able to get a grant - if a drug works better than any other drug for pd WHY IS IT SO EXPENSIVE? and not made available at a reasonable price
It's paperwork since it is not a Medicare approved drug unless your Dr says the other drugs don't work so have to start with that - Rytary does you a favor and gives you a two week supply - and sends you to other places to fund it
Hope this is useful... After reading a description of Rytary it appears it may be the same med. I'm taking, but under a brand name. Mine is a Generic Carbidopa/levodopa. Its cheap ($4 )at Wallmart. When I needed to increase the times per day, I got a 3 month supply at Savon for $18.
Pharma is not your friend 😘
The help from rytary is to send you a two week supply and provide you with phone numbers for places that give grants IF money is available -
With Medicare i can get my Hwp the drug Rytary at my local pharmacy for 1200 for 3 months or if they mail it to me it's about $600 for the three months - no grants available from Pan Foundation or any other - wrote to MJFox Parkinson Foundation but no reply - also Rasagaline much less expensive if mailed - your Doctor has to send in paperwork.
