I have been getting 4AP from Skips Pharmacy in Florida for over 15years. Unfortunately they have changed their policy and no longer accept UK prescriptions. Does anyone know where I can get 4AP?

Fampyra is a better known version in the UK and improves walking for the 40% who respond to the drug.

If it’s Fampyra you should just be able to get it from any pharmacy, you probably have to see your neurologist first to get the prescription so contact your local MS team. I don’t understand why you’re getting it dispensed from Florida when it could just be dispensed over here, maybe I’m missing something.

Fampyra didn’t work for me. It is a slow release version of 4AP.  
I get much better results from the basic 4AP. I have heard it may be available from European pharmacies but don’t have any names
