Aravon Injection (Edaravone)

Aravon Injection is used in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (a nervous system disease that weakens the muscles and impairs physical functions). It is an antioxidant that slows down nerve damage and prevents further progression of the disease.

Aravon Injection is administered as an injection under the supervision of a healthcare professional and should not be self-administered. It is given in cases where oral administration is not possible. Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor and if you have missed a dose, take it as soon as you remember.

The most common side effects of this medicine are headache, bruising, and walking difficulties (gait disturbance).  You may also notice some injection site reactions such as pain, redness, or swelling. However, these are temporary and usually resolve on their own. Please consult your doctor if these do not subside or bother you. You should inform the doctor if you develop any allergic reactions like itching, swelling of the lips, tongue, or face, after taking the medication as these require immediate medical attention.

HOW ARAVON INJECTION WORKS

Aravon Injection is an antioxidant. It has nootropic (enrichment of nerves) and neuroprotective properties. It works by slowing the nerve damage caused by harmful chemicals (free radicals). This delays the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) symptoms by reducing the oxidative stress (an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants) in the brain.
