1. What is Fampridine Sandoz and What is it Used For

The active substance of Fampridine Sandoz is fampridine, which belongs to a group of medications called potassium channel blockers. The action of these medications involves inhibiting the flow of potassium from damaged nerve cells. The medication improves the conduction of impulses in the central nervous system, which affects the improvement of walking.
Fampridine Sandoz is used to improve walking in adults (over 18 years of age) with walking disabilities associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). In multiple sclerosis, the inflammatory process destroys the protective sheaths around the nerves, leading to muscle weakness and stiffness, as well as difficulty walking.
