Drug Info for riluzole
Riluzole is used to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS; Lou Gehrig's disease). Riluzole is in a class of medications called benzothiazoles. It works by changing the activity of certain natural substances in the body that affect nerves and muscles.
Rilutek is a prescription drug used to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Patients diagnosed with ALS usually have high glutamate, an amino acid that affects the nerves in the brain that send signals to your muscles.
