How much does Riluzole cost?

Riluzole (Riluzole), a glutamatergic antagonist, is a disease-modifying treatment shown to extend the lives of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), reducing mortality by 38.6% in efficacy trials. The 100 mg dose increased survival by 35% in a dose ranging trial. Riluzole has not been shown to have a significant effect on function, but any functional effects are difficult to assess in ALS clinical trials.

Motor neuron disease is a general term applied to progressive degenerative diseases affecting motor neurons. For people with motor neurone disease (ALS), including bulbar palsy, taking 100 mg of riluzole daily extended average survival by two to three months, with people taking riluzole generally living 6 to 19 months longer than those who did not take it. The review found that the greatest benefit of riluzole occurred early in the course of the disease, providing evidence to support early and long-term treatment with riluzole.
