amifampridine and Congenital Myasthenia

amifampridine has been researched along with Congenital Myasthenia in 17 studies

Amifampridine: 4-Aminopyridine derivative that acts as a POTASSIUM CHANNEL blocker to increase release of ACETYLCHOLINE from nerve terminals. It is used in the treatment of CONGENITAL MYASTHENIC SYNDROMES.
