About Idebopil 45mg Tablet
Idebopil 45mg Tablet belongs to a group of medications called ‘antioxidant’ used to treat Friedreich ataxia and Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). Friedreich ataxia is a rare inherited disorder that causes difficulty walking and speech impairment. LHON is an eye disease that is an inherited genetic disorder. It occurs due to a defect in the genes that affect the cells in the eye responsible for producing energy to function normally.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Friedreich ataxia: A rare inherited genetic disorder that occurs due to a defect in the gene labelled FXN. This genetic defect causes damage to the parts of the brain, spinal cord, and heart. It causes ataxia, an impairment in coordinating voluntary movements such as walking and speech. Hence, this condition leads to unsteady posture, difficulty walking, and slurred speech.
Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON): This condition is an inherited genetic disorder that affects the eye. It occurs due to a defect in the genes that affect the cells in the eye responsible for producing energy to perform its vital functions. This condition leads to the inactivity of cells, thereby causing loss of vision or eyesight. Vision problems start as blurring of the eye in both eyes simultaneously or sequentially, leading to permanent blindness.
