This medication may be effective for symptoms such as facial paralysis, anxiety, limb paralysis, and speech disorders, but its effectiveness may vary depending on the symptoms of the stroke patient. The efficacy for respiratory distress has not been proven, so it is best not to use it for this symptom.
