Ms Walking Survey

• Ampyra has set up a free online portal for users to learn more about how to manage their Multiple Sclerosis, and how to best use Ampyra

Thanks to a new program from Ampyra, people who are suffering from MS have the chance to get support, get education, and find motivation to help them through their Multiple Sclerosis experience. It’s estimated that more than 400,000 people in the United States alone, and over 2.5 million people worldwide have Multiple Sclerosis, and Ampyra plays an important role in helping those people manage their MS symptoms.

A personal access code will be needed to access the Ampyra portal. This access code can be found on the letter in the Ampyra welcome booklet. People who use Ampyra but didn’t receive a welcome booklet can call 1-888-881-1918 to receive their personal access code.

Please note…

• More than 2.5 million people around the world and over 400 thousand people in the United States have Multiple Sclerosis
• Ampyra, manufactured by Acorda Therapeutic, is a prescription drug that’s been used to manage symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis since 2010
