Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Ampyra. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Ampyra:

• Ampyra should be used exactly as prescribed. Do not take more than the recommended dose. Higher doses are associated with a significantly increased risk of adverse reactions.
• It is typically taken twice daily with or without food. Tablets should be taken whole. Do not split, crush, or chew the tablets. Doing so causes the medication to be released too fast, leading to an increased risk of seizures.
• Do not take Ampyra with other aminopyridine medications.
• Ampyra can cause dizziness or vertigo. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how Ampyra affects you.
• If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
