Pros and Cons of using Ketas capsules for ALS

General theory on the subject.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a debilitating neurodegenerative disease that affects the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscles. There is currently no cure for ALS, but various treatments are available to manage symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease. One such treatment is Ketas capsules, also known as Ibudilast.

Ketas capsules are a phosphodiesterase inhibitor that has been approved for use in Japan for the treatment of bronchial asthma and cerebrovascular disorders. Recently, Ketas capsules have been explored as a potential treatment for ALS due to their anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects.

Proponents of Ketas capsules argue that they can help to slow down the progression of ALS by reducing inflammation and protecting nerve cells from damage. In a clinical trial conducted in Japan, Ketas capsules were shown to significantly slow down the progression of ALS compared to a placebo group. Participants taking Ketas capsules experienced a slower decline in muscle strength and respiratory function over the course of the study.

Long-term safety and side effects of Ketas Ibudilast.

However, critics of Ketas capsules point out that there is still limited data available on the long-term safety and efficacy of the drug for ALS treatment. The clinical trials conducted so far have been relatively small, and there is a need for larger, more robust studies to confirm the potential benefits of Ketas capsules in ALS treatment.

Additionally, like all medications, Ketas capsules (Ibudilast) carry potential side effects. Common side effects of Ketas capsules include:

• gastrointestinal issues,
• heavy stomach
• headache,
• dizziness,
• fatigue.

Less common but more serious side effects include liver damage and allergic reactions.

Furthermore, Ketas capsules are not currently approved by the FDA for the treatment of ALS in the United States. While they are available for use in Japan, patients in other countries may not have access to the drug or may have to go through a complicated process to obtain it.

In conclusion

While Ketas capsules may hold promise as a potential treatment for ALS, more research is needed to determine their safety and efficacy. Patients with ALS should consult with a qualified medical professional to discuss the potential benefits and risks of Ketas capsules, as well as other treatment options available to manage symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease.
