About EDAVIT 1.5MG INJECTION

EDAVIT 1.5MG INJECTION belongs to a class of medication known as 'neuro-protective', primarily indicated in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This medicine prevents and treats the further progression of this neurological (specialized cells responsible for sending signals to the brain) disease. ALS is a progressive neurological disease that damages the nerve cells responsible for walking, chewing, talking especially the brain and spinal cord. As this disease is progressive so its symptoms get worse over time if the right treatment is not provided. 

EDAVIT 1.5MG INJECTION contains 'Edaravone' that helps to slow down the worsening of the neurological disease. It is an antioxidant that prevents the death of nerve cells and preserves the functioning of muscles. EDAVIT 1.5MG INJECTION helps to keep nerve cells healthy so that an individual can perform normal activities like walking, eating during the day.

ALS is both age and gender-specific. It typically affects adults between 55 and 75 years old and is slightly more common in men. Additionally, those with a family history of ALS, military veterans, smokers, and those exposed to environmental toxins are also at higher risk.

Veterans and athletes are more likely to get ALS because of environmental exposures, head injuries, intense physical activity, and the stress they experience. These factors can increase the risk of developing ALS in veterans and athletes.

The early symptoms of ALS include muscle weakness, twitching, cramps, stiffness, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, tripping and fatigue.
