Isn't Crexont The Same As Rytary?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Pitman, NJ

Most of us take carbodopa/Levodopa. And Rytary is on the market as an extended release. Is Crexont different?

Given that it was just released in September, there probably aren't a lot of people with experience taking it. Does insurance even cover it?

What Is So New About Crexont?

A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭
Stoke-on-Trent, UK

Crexont was approved by the FDA in the US recently (August 9th 2024). As far as I can tell it's just a controlled release L-Dopa product. It's been shown to offer an extra 30 to 90 minutes per day of "on time" compared to immediate release L-Dopa.

But there are other CR formulations; Caramet, Half Sinemet CR...I am sure many others since the rights to Sinemet expired.

Why the excitement over Crexont?
