I inquired at our chemist today and was told Fampyra™, (fampridine) costs $650.00 per script putting it well out of my reach. My GP and the pharmacist had never heard of it ... :? :confused:

Its not cheap here in Australia either. If you want a cheaper alternative, investigate getting it compounded.
