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.

I moved your post here to our ALS forum.
Be sure to use the search tool ( http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/search.php ) to find information, and check the sticky threads up above.

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.
