1. What is Riluzol PMCS 50 mg film-coated tablets EFG and what is it used for

The active substance of Riluzol PMCS 50 mg film-coated tablets EFG is riluzole, which acts on the nervous system.

Riluzol PMCS 50 mg film-coated tablets EFG are used in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

ALS is a form of motor neuron disease in which the damage to the nerve cells responsible for sending instructions to the muscles leads to weakness, muscle loss, and paralysis.

The destruction of nerve cells in motor neuron disease may be due to the presence of too much glutamate (a chemical messenger) in the brain and spinal cord. Riluzol PMCS 50 mg film-coated tablets EFG stop the release of glutamate, which may help prevent damage to nerve cells.

Consult your doctor for more information about ALS and why this medicine has been prescribed for you.
