We recently discovered that Effer-K was being recommended for patients suffering from hypokalemic periodic paralysis for quick potassium repletion. See: http://www.periodicparalysis.org/english/View.asp?x=573 In fact, at this time, Effer-K is the only medication recommended on their web site.
Thanks to a mention on the HKPP web site, patients are finding out about Effer-K and requesting samples on our site.
Here’s a excerpt from an e-mail we received from a patient who suffers from HKPP.
I have been diagnosed with hypokalemic periodic paralysis and read about your product on the informative websites regarding the diagnosis.
It is being proscribed to stop paralytic attacks. I found that CVS could order it for me.
It’s always great to hear the Effer-K is being found by people who need it the most. Thanks for the info.
