Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/news/story/4461/new-drug-for-periodic-paralysis-has-roots-in-urmc-research.aspx

Diclorphenamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, was initially developed for the treatment of glaucome, however, now it is used for patients suffering from primary hypokalemic and hyperkalemic periodic paralysis. The exact mechanism of diclorphenamide in periodic paralysis is unknown.
