Riluzole 50mg Tablets – Rilutek generic, 56 Tablets
Riluzole 50mg Tablets are used to treat patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The active substance in Riluzole, riluzole, acts on the nervous system. This medicine can help to improve your symptoms and slow down the progression of ALS.
Riluzole works by acting on the nervous system, helping to reduce the Appearing symptoms and improve the quality of life for patients with this debilitating disease. In addition to its therapeutic benefits, Riluzole is also well tolerated by patients with ALS, with few side effects reported.
ALS is a form of motor neurone disease where damage to the nerve cells responsible for sending instructions to the muscles lead to weakness, muscle wastage 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. Riluzole stops the release of glutamate and this may help in preventing the nerve cells being damaged.
Riluzole 50mg Tablets is the generic of Rilutek 50mg tablets
