Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Medicinal Benefits

Ridostro Injection is used to treat certain nerve diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It is used to slow down the worsening of this disease. This medicine has antioxidant properties that slow down the process that kills and damages the neurons (oxidative). When Ridostro Injection is injected it relieves the effects of oxidative stress and preserves healthy nerves and muscle function. By doing so, it helps a person to carry out their daily activities like walking, maintaining good posture, speaking and chewing. However, Ridostro Injection does not permanently cure this disease and also it does not reverse the nerve damage that already happened.
