ALBRIOZA is used for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and offers those living with ALS the possibility of extending their period of functional independence, granting them invaluable additional time.

“We commend the Government of Manitoba for it’s decision to offer public coverage for this treatment,” said Diana Rasmussen. “As this fatal disease progresses so quickly, access to approved treatment options represents a lifeline of hope and dignity for those battling this devastating disease.”
