Rilutek: Reviews: Testimonials, Uses and Side Effects

Medication indications

Rilutek 50 mg film-coated tablets

RILUTEK is indicated to extend life or the time to mechanical ventilation for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Clinical trials have demonstrated that RILUTEK extends survival for patients with ALS. Survival was defined as patients who were alive, not intubated for mechanical ventilation and tracheotomy-free.

There is no evidence that RILUTEK exerts a therapeutic effect on motor function, lung function, fasciculations, muscle strength and motor symptoms. RILUTEK has not been shown to be effective in the late stages of ALS.

Safety and efficacy of RILUTEK has only been studied in ALS. Therefore, RILUTEK should not be used in patients with any other form of motor neurone disease.

Route of administration: Oral
Molecule: riluzole
