The drug FIRDAPSE contains one active pharmaceutical ingredient (API):
1
Amifampridine
UNII 8HF8FIN815 - AMIFAMPRIDINE PHOSPHATE
|
Amifampridine blocks voltage-dependent potassium channels, thereby prolonging pre-synaptic cell membrane depolarisation. Prolonging the action potential enhances the transport of calcium into the nerve ending. The resulting increase in intra-cellular calcium concentrations facilitates exocytosis of acetylcholine-containing vesicles, which in turn enhances neuromuscular transmission. |
