(Scientific name dalfampridine) to be put on the market soon What are the benefits and disadvantages and how we benefit from it?
According to the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) decision released last Friday, this drug helps MS patients to walk faster and longer, climb stairs easier, and enable them to perform better motor functions.
The approved drug enhances the function of the nervous system, but does not affect the course of the disease (does not prevent attacks).
Dr Andrew Goodman of the University of Rochester said: “There is no indication that this drug can stop the progressive nature of this disease (attacks, for example), but there are indications that whatever the patient’s condition there is room for improvement and progress forward.”
It is reported that this oral medication is safe and effective, but it is not recommended that the patient take higher doses than recommended in the report, knowing that this drug is not recommended for patients with severe kidney injuries
The manufacturers hope to bring the medicine to the market soon.
Adoption of the drug

The announcement said that the price of 60 pills (enough for one month on the basis of two pills per day) is equivalent to 1056 thousand and fifty-six dollars (equivalent to 3960 riyals / three thousand nine hundred and sixty riyals) !!! For just one month !!! The prices above are wholesale prices means for dealers how much do those drugs reach the consumer? !!!
