Riluzole (Rilutek) in ALS treatment

Hi,

My mother got recently diagnosed with ALS. Her doctor prescribed Riluzole (Rilutek). Is there any other newer/better medicine for ALS?

Thank you.

My husband has ALS.He was on Riluzole but it did not do a thing for him.He is 65 and I read that it does not always work in older people.
