1. What is Fampridina Teva and what is it used for

Fampridina Teva is a medicine used to improve walking in adults (18 years or older) with walking disability related to multiple sclerosis (MS). In multiple sclerosis, inflammation destroys the protective covering of the nerves, causing muscle weakness, muscle stiffness, and difficulty walking.

This medicine contains the active substance fampridine, which belongs to a group of medicines called potassium channel blockers. They work by preventing potassium from leaving damaged nerve cells in multiple sclerosis. It is thought that this medicine works by allowing signals to pass through the nerve more normally, which helps you walk better.
