>How does Radicut (edaravone) work?
Radicut (edaravone) protects neurons from damage by free radicals. This is true for both ALS and ischaemic stroke.
Free radicals like hydroxyl radical cause damage in cerebral vascular disorders. They increase during ischaemia or reperfusion, leading to cell injury and brain dysfunction.
The cause of ALS is still unknown, but free radicals might play a role. Edaravone’s effect on ALS is not fully understood. It’s thought to slow disease progression by protecting nerve cells from oxidative damage.
