ALS Untangled Series Ep. 60 - Nuedexta

Nuedexta is a combination of dextromethorphan and quinidine, and is FDA approved for treating “pseudobulbar affect” (a symptom complex where patients lose control of their laughing and crying).  Here we summarize recent trials suggesting that Nuedexta might also help bulbar function (speech, swallowing and oral secretions).  We also discuss important risks, monitoring, and insurance coverage.
