Periodic paralysis
Periodic paralysis, also known as periodic paralysis, refers to a group of myopathy characterized by recurrent flaccid skeletal muscle paralysis. According to the changes in serum potassium levels during attacks, it can be divided into three types: hypokalemic, normal potassium, and hyperkalemic. According to the cause, it can be divided into primary and secondary types. Primary refers to those whose pathogenesis is still unclear and hereditary; secondary refers to those caused by changes in blood potassium due to other diseases. Periodic paralysis usually refers to the former.

Potassium Chloride for Injection
Indication: 1. Treat hypokalemia caused by various reasons, such as insufficient food intake, vomiting, severe diarrhea, use of potassium-excreting diuretics, hypokalemic familial periodic paralysis, long-term use of glucocorticoids and hypokalemia caused by supplementation of hypertonic glucose, etc. 2. Prevent hypokalemia. When patients have potassium loss, especially if hypokalemia is harmful to patients (such as patients using digitalis drugs), preventive potassium salt supplementation is required, such as eating very little, severe or chronic diarrhea, long-term use of adrenocortical hormones, potassium-losing nephropathy, Bartter syndrome, etc. 3. Digitalis poisoning causes frequent, multi-source premature beats or rapid arrhythmias.
