Edinova 1.5mg Injection 20ml contains edaravone (1.5 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Free radical scavenging: Edaravone acts as a powerful antioxidant that targets and neutralises harmful free radicals in the body, which are unstable molecules that can damage cells.

• Neuroprotection: It helps protect nerve cells from oxidative stress, which is a type of cell damage caused by an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in your body.

• Motor neuron preservation: The medicine works to interrupt the cascade of cellular damage that occurs in patients with ALS, potentially helping to preserve the function of motor neurons, the nerve cells that control muscle movement.

• Slowing disease progression: By protecting nerve cells from damage, edaravone may help slow the progression of muscle weakness and other ALS symptoms over time.
