Hello,
Dosage Information
The maximum recommended dosage of AMPYRA is one 10 mg tablet twice daily and should not be exceeded. Take doses approximately 12 hours apart.
There is no evidence of additional benefit at doses greater than 10 mg twice daily. Adverse reactions, including seizures, and discontinuations because of adverse reactions were more frequent at higher doses.

Hi masso, thank you very much for answering my question but it was a little more towards the minimum number of pills that can be taken daily and the medicine still be effective. So, in other words, can I take only one per day? Thank you for your time...
Hi, I understand your question but everywhere I have looked the literature states that this med is to be taken twice a day.
I would contact your Dr. on Monday and ask him/her in order to clarify how it was prescribed to you.
Regards, masso
