The maximum recommended dose of AMPYRA is one 10 mg tablet twice daily, taken with or without food, and should not be exceeded. Doses should be taken approximately 12 hours apart. Patients should not take double or extra doses if a dose is missed.
No additional benefit was demonstrated at doses greater than 10 mg twice daily and adverse reactions and discontinuations because of adverse reactions were more frequent at higher doses. Tablets should only be taken whole; do not divide, crush, chew, or dissolve.
AMPYRA is contraindicated in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment [see Contraindications (4)]. The risk of seizures in patients with mild renal impairment (CrCl 51–80 mL/min) is unknown, but AMPYRA plasma exposure in these patients may approach that seen at a dose of 15 mg twice daily, a dose that may be associated with an increased risk of seizures; estimated CrCl should be known before initiating treatment with AMPYRA [see Warnings and Precautions, Renal Impairment (5.2) and Clinical Pharmacology, Special Populations (12.4)].
