Rytary (active ingredients: carbidopa and levodopa) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Parkinson’s Disease: Rytary is used for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, a progressive neurological disorder characterized by tremors, muscle stiffness, slowness of movement, and impaired balance and coordination.

Rytary belongs to a class of drugs known as dopaminergic agents. It contains a combination of carbidopa, which enhances the effectiveness of levodopa, a precursor of dopamine. Together, carbidopa and levodopa help to replenish dopamine levels in the brain, which improves motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease.

Rytary is a medication that comes in the form of capsules to be taken by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually three times a day. Swallow the capsules whole and do not crush or chew them, as doing so can release all the drug at once and increase the risk of side effects. If you have trouble swallowing the capsule, you may open it up and sprinkle the entire contents onto a small amount of applesauce. Do not prepare the mixture in advance for later use; swallow it right away without chewing.

You may take the capsuule with or without food, but it is best to avoid high-protein diets as they can reduce how much of the medication your body can absorb. Additionally, avoid taking this medication with a high-fat, high-calorie meal as it can slow down the time it takes to work by about 2 hours. Take your first dose of the day about 1 to 2 hours before eating, so be sure to ask your doctor or pharmacist how best to take this medication.

Do not take other forms of carbidopa or levodopa without consulting your doctor first. Take the capsules regularly at the same times each day to get the most benefit from it. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not change your dose of this or any other medication without checking with your doctor first.
