Monitoring to Assess Effectiveness

Primary hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, primary hypokalemic periodic paralysis, and related variants are a heterogeneous group of conditions, for which the response to ORMALVI may vary. Therefore, prescribers should evaluate the patient's response to ORMALVI after 2 months of treatment to decide whether ORMALVI should be continued.

Monitoring to Assess Safety

Baseline and periodic measurements of serum potassium and sodium bicarbonate during ORMALVI treatment is recommended [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3, 5.4)].
