Product Description
Product Name: Rilutek Tablets 50mg
Product Form: Tablets
Pack Size: 56
Manufactured By: Sanofi
Used For:
- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): Primarily used to slow the progression of this neurodegenerative disease, helping to extend survival and time to tracheostomy in patients with ALS.
Mechanism of Action: Riluzole works by reducing the release of glutamate, a neurotransmitter that can be toxic at high levels. By modulating glutamate levels, it helps protect motor neurons from damage.
Side Effects:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Weakness or fatigue
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Liver function abnormalities (elevated liver enzymes)
- Dizziness
- Possible allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling)
Precautions:
- Monitor liver function regularly, especially if there is a history of liver disease.
- Use with caution in patients with a history of alcoholism or liver disorders, as Riluzole is metabolized in the liver.
- Discuss any potential risks if pregnant or breastfeeding with your healthcare provider.
- Inform your doctor about any other medications being taken to avoid potential interactions.
