This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Everytime I go to my Neuro, they test my walking time.
I don't feel like I have slowed at all. But he wants me to start taking this stuff. They delivered it today. With all the kidney warnings on here I am wondering if I should take it? I mean, the Rebif is supposedly bad enough on your kidneys, now I am going to strain them even more with this stuff?

Anybody have Anthem PPO who is taking Ampyra? How much is it costing you?

Id like to give it a try but I can't get an answer of how much it will cost. I was told my co-pay is 50% of the allowed rate but they won't tell me the allowed rate!

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

Regards seeva :twisted:

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? /:)

I know for me I think I paid $65 for 100 10mg tablets of compounded 4-AP a few years ago, and I think the monthly cost of Ampyra here in Australia is somewhere in the $2000 ball park. :-O

My neuro suggested I try Ampyra and started the prescription process which is a real ordeal. I have to wait for a phone call, then call the compounding pharmacy, then call the other number back plus wait for insurance approval then they mail it to me.

is any body who live in Australia and take Fampyra? i need to know about the cost
thanks

Hi all,

I was wondering if there are any other benefits associated with Fampyra other than improved walking speed. I am not particlarly concerned with my walking speed but with my walking. I really look like a wreck when I walk and can no longer walk unassisted. I also wonder about the side effects that caused a previous poster to cease after just one dose. Being able to walk better would be great but when ...
