Fampridine Accord

Fampridine Accord is a medicine used to improve walking ability in adults with multiple sclerosis (MS) who have a walking disability. MS is a disease in which the immune system (the body’s defences) attacks and damages the covering around the nerves and the nerves themselves in the brain and spinal cord. Fampridine Accord is a ‘generic medicine’. This means that Fampridine Accord contains the same active substance and works in the same way as a ‘reference medicine’ already authorised in the EU called Fampyra.
