As a potassum blocker, Ampyra was once a "bird poison" Doctors get kickbacks, and guinea pig patients. nerves need a balance of sodium and potassium for nerve conduction. It is counterintuitive to block potassium. It prevented birds from flying.

And Warfarin was a rat poison….

In all seriousness, all medications are toxic if you take too much, or if they are taken by the wrong species. It's just the nature of adding chemicals to the body in an attempt to improve quality of life and get a specific desired result.

Your concerns are appreciated, but I can assure you that it's use in humans has been very carefully studied.

For it to be used in humans, it had to pass rigorous testing, be purified in a different form than that used in birds and the dosing is very carefully checked and calculated.

Does anyone have any questions about this that I can help with?

I'll gladly answer them, if I can.
