Rilutek 50mg Tablets – Riluzole 50mg, 56 Tablets

Rilutek 50mg Tablets are a prescription medication used in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Rilutek works by reducing damage to motor neurons, which are responsible for controlling muscle movement. This can help to slow the progression of ALS and improve quality of life for patients. Rilutek is typically taken orally once daily, and it is important to follow the instructions of your healthcare provider when taking this medication.

The active ingredient in Rilutek 50mg Tablets is Riluzole 50mg.

ALS is a form of motor neurone disease where attacks of the nerve cells responsible for sending instructions to the muscles lead to weakness, muscle waste and paralysis.

The destruction of nerve cells in motor neurone disease may be caused by too much glutamate (a chemical messenger) in the brain and spinal cord. RILUTEK stops the release of glutamate and this may help in preventing the nerve cells being damaged.
