1. What is Fampridine Accord and what is it used for

Fampridine Accord is a medicine used to improve walking in adults (18 years or older) with multiple sclerosis (MS) who have walking disability. In multiple sclerosis, inflammation damages the protective covering of the nerves, leading to muscle weakness, muscle stiffness, and difficulty walking.

Fampridine Accord contains the active substance fampridine, which belongs to a group of medicines called potassium channel blockers. They work by slowing down the release of potassium from damaged nerve cells in MS. It is thought that this medicine works by allowing signals to pass through the nerve in a more normal way, enabling you to walk better.
