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 Injection
Indication: Electrolyte supplement. Used for: 1. Treatment of hypokalemia caused by various reasons. Such as insufficient food intake, vomiting, severe diarrhea, use of potassium-excreting diuretics, hypokalemic familial periodic paralysis, hypokalemia caused by long-term use of glucocorticoids and supplementation of hypertonic glucose, etc. 2. Prevention of hypokalemia. When the patient has potassium loss, especially if hypokalemia is harmful to the patient (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. Frequent, multifocal premature beats or rapid arrhythmias caused by digitalis poisoning.
