RYTARY is an extended-release oral capsule combining carbidopa and levodopa, used to treat motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Levodopa is converted to dopamine in the brain to restore motor function, while carbidopa inhibits premature decarboxylation in the periphery. The extended-release formulation provides sustained symptom control and reduces dosing frequency compared to immediate-release alternatives.
