Dalfampridine has had limited clinical use, but has not been linked to serum enzyme elevations during treatment nor to instances of clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice.</p></div><div id="Dalfampridine.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Dalfampridine (dal fam' pri deen) is a pyrimidine analogue (4-aminopyridine) and potassium channel blocker that is used to improve mobility and walking speed in patients with multiple sclerosis. Dalfampridine appears to act by prolonging neuronal action potentials and thus improving conduction in demyelinated nerve fibers. Multiple clinical studies have demonstrated that dalfampridine (previously known as 4-aminopyridine) has a rapid onset of action increasing motor strength and mobility in 25% to 40% of patients with multiple sclerosis as well as other neuromuscular conditions. In clinical trials, the effect of dalfampridine has been sustained with long term use. It has no effect on the course of underlying disease in preventing relapses or slowing progression of disability. Dalfampridine was approved for use in the United States in 2010 and current indications are for symptomatic treatment of motor weakness in relapsing multiple sclerosis. Dalfampridine is available in tablets of 10 mg under the brand name Ampyra. The typical dose in adults is 10 mg twice daily. Side effects may include insomnia, dizziness, headache, nausea, fatigue, back pain and ataxia. Uncommon, but serious side effects include seizures, delirium and stupor. Actually, 4-aminopyridine is a well known neurotoxin and is used as an avicide. Overdoses in humans can cause seizures, stupor, coma and death.</p></div><div id="Dalfampridine.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>Dalfampridine has been associated with infrequent serum aminotransferase elevations during therapy and has not been convincingly linked to instances of clinically apparent liver injury. In analyses of safety of dalfampridine in pre-registration controlled trials with 1922 patients with multiple sclerosis, there were no reports of hepatic injury or laboratory evidence of a hepatotoxicity signal. Nevertheless, a few instances of clinically apparent liver injury in patients receiving dalfampridine have appeared in the published literature. In each instance, however, attribution to dalfampridine was not convincing.</p><p>Likelihood score: E* (unproven although suspected rare cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Dalfampridine.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The possible mechanisms by which dalfampridine could be hepatotoxic are not clear. Dalfampridine is eliminated largely unchanged in the urine and appears to have little hepatic metabolism.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/MultipleSclerosisAge/">Multiple Sclerosis Agents</a> (Symptomatic Therapies)</p></div></div><div id="Dalfampridine.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Dalfampridine_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><div id="Dalfampridine.BPI" class="box"><p>
