| Auth. number : | EU/1/12/768 |
| INN : | Riluzole |
| ATC: | N - Nervous system N07 - Other nervous system drugs N07X - Other nervous system drugs N07XX - Other nervous system drugs N07XX02 - Riluzole (See WHO ATC Index) |
| Indication: | Riluzole Zentiva is indicated to extend life or the time to mechanical ventilation for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Clinical trials have demonstrated that Riluzole Zentiva extends survival for patients with ALS (see section 5.1). Survival was defined as patients who were alive, not intubated for mechanical ventilation and tracheotomy-free. There is no evidence that Riluzole Zentiva exerts a therapeutic effect on motor function, lung function, fasciculations, muscle strength and motor symptoms. Riluzole Zentiva has not been shown to be effective in the late stages of ALS. Safety and efficacy of Riluzole Zentiva has only been studied in ALS. Therefore, Riluzole Zentiva should not be used in patients with any other form of motor neurone disease. |
