dichlorphenamide and Familial Periodic Paralysis

dichlorphenamide has been researched along with Familial Periodic Paralysis in 7 studies

Dichlorphenamide: A carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that is used in the treatment of glaucoma.
diclofenamide : A sulfonamide that is benzene-1,3-disulfonamide in which the hydrogens at positions 4 and 5 are substituted by chlorine. An oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, it partially suppresses the secretion (inflow) of aqueous humor in the eye and so reduces intraocular pressure. It is used for the treatment of glaucoma.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Skeletal muscle ion channelopathies are rare genetic diseases mainly characterized by myotonia (muscle stiffness) or periodic paralysis (muscle weakness)."3.01Drug repurposing in skeletal muscle ion channelopathies. ( Altamura, C; Campanale, C; Desaphy, JF; Laghetti, P; Saltarella, I, 2023)
" Common adverse events (AEs) were paresthesia and cognition-related events, which typically first occurred within 1 month of blinded treatment initiation and in rare cases led to treatment discontinuation."3.01Long-term efficacy and safety of dichlorphenamide for treatment of primary periodic paralysis. ( Ciafaloni, E; Cohen, F; Griggs, RC; Hanna, MG; Johnson, NE; Sansone, VA; Shieh, PB; Statland, JM, 2021)
"Dichlorphenamide was effective and well tolerated in two studies, including one with adolescents."2.90Efficacy and Safety of Dichlorphenamide for Primary Periodic Paralysis in Adolescents Compared With Adults. ( Ciafaloni, E; Cohen, F; Griggs, R, 2019)
