Fampyra (Dalfampridine)

Fampyra (Dalfampridine)

Fampyra (Dalfampridine), is a prescription medication specifically designed to improve walking in adults with multiple sclerosis (MS). MS patients often experience difficulty with mobility due to nerve damage that affects muscle control. Fampyra works by blocking potassium channels on nerve fibers, which can enhance the conduction of nerve signals and improve muscle strength and control.

Why Choose Fampyra (Dalfampridine)?

• Improved Mobility: Fampyra is clinically shown to improve walking speed in MS patients, potentially enhancing daily activity levels and independence.
• Enhanced Muscle Strength: By improving nerve conduction, Fampyra helps increase muscle control, aiding patients with motor functions.
• Convenient Dosage: Taken as an oral tablet, Fampyra offers an easy-to-administer form, supporting consistent and manageable treatment.

How to Use Fampyra (Dalfampridine)?

• Consult Your Healthcare Provider: Fampyra requires a prescription and is only recommended for certain MS patients, so follow your healthcare provider’s guidance carefully.
• Adhere to Prescribed Dosage: Take Fampyra exactly as prescribed, usually one tablet every 12 hours. Avoid taking extra doses, as this does not enhance efficacy and may increase risk.
• Swallow Whole: Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this can affect how the medication is absorbed in the body.
• Set a Routine: To maintain steady medication levels in your system, take Fampyra at the same times each day, with or without food.
• Monitor Walking Progress: Note any changes in walking speed or ease and report these to your healthcare provider, as Fampyra’s effects vary per individual.
