Members responded to a question about whether anything works better than Dalfampridine for walking, with the general consensus being that it is the only approved option, sold under the brand name Ampyra, and that it helps about 20% with walking and balance. Several members suggested speaking with a neurologist about newer treatments or combinations, and one member mentioned Ocrevus as a separate disease-modifying therapy, though it serves a different purpose. A recurring theme was encouragement to stay in touch with your medical team and to keep moving forward despite the challenges of living with MS.

You all are right it is generic brand. That's what I take it for is waking and balance. If helps like 20% with your walking.
When I went to hospital and didn't take it for a few days. When I got out it was all I could do to get up my ramp on the porch and get in the house. If there is something better I would love to know, thank you.

Anthony Ocrevus is s DMT designed to help with slowing your disability Its about 6000 grand a dose an you take once every 6 monthes. Ampyra is a tablet 2 times a day an supposedly for some reason it helps with walking. It wasnt designed for this but by chance it was found that for some people it helps with walking. The generic for this is about. 25 cents a pill. Ithas nothing to do with ms
