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

Fampridine Teva is used to improve walking in adult patients (over 18 years of age) with multiple sclerosis (MS) with walking disability. In multiple sclerosis, the inflammatory process damages the nerve sheaths, leading to muscle weakness and stiffness and difficulty walking.
The active substance of Fampridine Teva is fampridine, which belongs to a group of drugs that block potassium channels. The action of these drugs is to inhibit the outflow of potassium from nerve cells damaged in MS. It is believed that the drug improves impulse conduction in the central nervous system, which affects the improvement of walking.
