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

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

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