What Glentek is<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The active substance in Glentek is riluzole which acts on the nervous system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What Glentek is used for<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Glentek is used in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ( ALS ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n ALS is a type of motor neuron disease in which attacks the nerve cells, which are responsible for sending instructions to the muscles, leading to weakness, muscle wasting, and paralysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The breakdown of nerve cells in a motor neuron disease can be due to too much glutamate (a chemical messenger) in the brain and spinal cord. Glentek stops the release of glutamate and this can help prevent nerve cells from being destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ask your doctor for more information about ALS and why you have been prescribed this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Riluzole contained in Glentek may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information.
