The following adverse effects in at least 2% more people given the medication than were given placebo: bruising, gait disturbances, headache, skin inflammation, eczema, problems breathing, excess sugar in urine, and fungal skin infections.<ref name="Radicava FDA label" />

There is no data on whether it is safe for pregnant women to take, and it is unknown if edaravone is secreted in breast milk.<ref name="Radicava FDA label" />

The half-life of edaravone is 4.5 to 6 hours and the half-lives of its metabolites are 2 to 3 hours. It is metabolized to a sulfate conjugate and a ] conjugate, neither of which are active. It is primarily excreted in urine as the glucuronide conjugate form.<ref name="Radicava FDA label" />

==History==
Researchers first developed the free radical scavenger edaravone in late 1980s as a treatment for stroke. The approach, introduced by Koji Abe, now at Okayama University Hospital in Japan, aimed to prevent the swelling of the brain which may occur after a stroke.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.alsresearchforum.org/fda-approves-edaravone-as-a-treatment-for-als-2/?platform=hootsuite|title=FDA Approves Edaravone as a Treatment for ALS|website=Research ALS|access-date=10 May 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190212191922/http://www.alsresearchforum.org/fda-approves-edaravone-as-a-treatment-for-als-2/?platform=hootsuite|archive-date=12 February 2019|url-status=dead}}</ref>

It has been marketed in Japan by ] for stroke since 2001 and is now generic.<ref name=Miyaji2015/><ref name=Herper/>

Mitsubishi Tanabe started a phase III clinical trial in ALS in 2011, in Japan, and by June 2015, it had been approved for that use in Japan.
