Fampyra How to Take

Fampyra (Fampridine) belongs to the class of medications called potassium channel blockers. Fampyra (Fampridine) is used to improve walking in adults with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) related walking difficulties. It is believed to work by improving the movement of messages through the nerves.

If there is no improvement in the symptoms of walking disability after 4 weeks, this medication should not be continued.

Your doctor may have suggested Fampyra (Fampridine) for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Fampyra (Fampridine), speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Fampyra (Fampridine) without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Fampyra (Fampridine) to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.

Discreet Packaging

Your privacy is important. That's why we send your medication inside a plain delivery box so no one will know what's inside.

Fampyra Dosage

The recommended dose of Fampyra (Fampridine) is 10 mg taken twice daily, one tablet in the morning and one tablet in the evening. The doses should be taken 12 hours apart.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

Fampyra (Fampridine) should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, dissolve, divide, or chew the tablet, as this causes an increase in the amount of medication released at once and will increase the risk of seizures. Take Fampyra (Fampridine) without food.

It is important that Fampyra (Fampridine) be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Taking more than the recommended dose increases the risk of seizures.

If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Fampyra (Fampridine) at room temperature, in the original container to protect it from light and moisture. Keep it out of the reach of children.
