riluzole and Neutropenia

riluzole has been researched along with Neutropenia in 4 studies

Riluzole: A glutamate antagonist (RECEPTORS, GLUTAMATE) used as an anticonvulsant (ANTICONVULSANTS) and to prolong the survival of patients with AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS.

Neutropenia: A decrease in the number of NEUTROPHILS found in the blood.
