How much does Edaravone cost?

Edaravone is a drug commonly used to treat certain neurological conditions, particularly stroke (stroke) and spinal muscular atrophy (ALS). It is an antioxidant designed to reduce cell damage and reduce inflammatory responses.

Edaravone is already on the market in China and has been included in medical insurance. Patients can purchase it domestically. The domestic price is relatively cheap. Please consult the local hospital pharmacy or medical insurance bureau for specific prices and reimbursement policies.

The main mechanism of action of this drug is to reduce cellular oxidative stress and damage by reducing the production of oxygen free radicals. In the case of a stroke, blockage or rupture of blood vessels in the brain may cause brain tissue to be deprived of oxygen, thereby producing large amounts of oxygen free radicals that damage surrounding healthy cells. The use of edaravone is intended to reduce the cellular damage caused by this oxygen free radical.

However, it is important to note that edaravone is not a standard treatment for all stroke patients, and doctors will decide whether to use this drug based on the patient's specific situation and medical history. The usage, dosage and duration of medication should be guided by professional doctors.

In addition to stroke treatment, edaravone is also used in research on some other neurological diseases, but the specific circumstances may vary depending on the type of disease and the progress of the research. If you have specific questions about edaravone or other medications, it is recommended that you consult a medical professional to get the most accurate information.
