This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Hi, to the forum:

Has anyone been thinking of taking both AMPYRA( 4-AP) and LDN?
Does anyone know if there are contraindications?
What a dilemma*
I would love to talk about it

Fampyra (fampridine) is indicated for use in multiple sclerosis to improve walking in patients who have a walking disability (EDSS 4-7).

Pharmacology

Fampridine is a potassium channel blocker. It prolongs channel repolarisation which enhances action potential formation in demyelinated axons, leading to improved neurological function.... Read More - http://www.msrc.co.uk/index.cfm/fuseact ... ageid/1310

Has anyone tried both? and therefore could give their opinion on the differences? /:)

My neuro suggested I try Ampyra and started the prescription process which is a real ordeal.

I have no idea whether my post will be considered appropriate, but I am trying to be creative in finding a way to share a whole month's prescription of Ampyra from which I could tolerate only one pill. I understand why companies cannot take back medications, and while my neurologist's office in a large teaching hospital is sympathetic to all the medications that end up paid for, but not tolerated, there is nothing they can ...

"With its approval by the European Commission, Fampyra has ...
