Information on the number of patients treated using a particular medicine is not collected. The Health and Social Care Information Centre has advised that five prescription items for fampridine (Fampyra) were prescribed in England and dispensed in the community in 2014.

Information at United Kingdom, English region and parliamentary constituency level or for secondary care is not available. A breakdown by clinical commissioning group cannot be provided due to the risk that individual patients might be identified.
