Joe

Ever since my first job working in a hospital, I’ve known I had a passion for helping people. That passion has
grown immensely over the 3 years that I’ve been helping people with Primary Periodic Paralysis (PPP). Advocating
for you is my top priority! I’m excited to continue my mission of bettering the lives of patients and their caregivers.

Valerie

I have always been interested in work that helps others and makes a positive impact. What inspires me is seeing the community we serve get up each day and strive to succeed, despite all the adversities they face. They simply do not give up. Knowing that I can assist them overcome some of the challenges they encounter motivates me to put my best in every day.

Eric

I firmly believe in the powers of compassion and empathy, and this drives my dedication to advocate for patients with Primary Periodic Paralysis. Each day I witness the resilient spirit that patients and their families exhibit in the face of PPP. Their strength, combined with knowing that every action I take makes a meaningful difference in their lives, fuels my passion for advocacy and support.

Vahe

My entire professional career has been in roles where I help people who need support to improve areas of their lives. Working for Xeris allows me to help the PPP patient population in this way as well. Working with patients and learning about the day-to-day experience of living with PPP is a constant source of inspiration for me. Advocating for you is my top priority!

Terrena

My best friend died because he did not get the diagnosis or prescribed medication he needed in a timely fashion. I promised him that his death would not be in vain and that I would do something to honor him. While my friend did not have PPP, making good on the promise to my friend brings me joy as I help PPP patients in their journey of starting and staying on treatment.

Indication and Important Safety Information

 

What is KEVEYIS?

KEVEYIS (pronounced keh-VAY-iss) (dichlorphenamide) is a prescription drug used to treat primary hyperkalemic periodic paralysis, primary hypokalemic periodic paralysis, and other similar diseases.

 

What should you tell your healthcare provider before taking KEVEYIS?

Tell your doctor if you are allergic to dichlorphenamide or other sulfa drugs; if you take high doses of aspirin, or if you have lung or liver disease; if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.

 

What should you know about KEVEYIS?

  • Severe allergic and other reactions have happened with sulfonamides (drugs such as KEVEYIS) and have sometimes been fatal. Stop taking KEVEYIS at the first sign of skin rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or any other unexpected side effect or reaction, and call 911 right away.
  • Tell your healthcare provider if you take aspirin or if another healthcare provider instructs you to begin taking aspirin. High doses of aspirin should not be taken with KEVEYIS.
  • KEVEYIS can cause your body to lose potassium, which can lead to heart problems. Your healthcare provider will measure the potassium levels in your blood before you start treatment and at certain times during treatment.
  • Tell your healthcare provider about all other prescription and over-the-counter medicines you take, including supplements, as some medicines can interact with KEVEYIS.
  • While taking KEVEYIS, your body may produce too much acid or may not be able to remove acid from the body. Your healthcare provider may run tests on a regular basis to check for signs of acid buildup.
  • KEVEYIS may increase your risk of falling. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you experience a fall while taking KEVEYIS.
  • The risks of falls and acid buildup are greater in elderly patients.
  • It is not known whether KEVEYIS is safe or effective for people younger than 18 years of age.

 

What are the most common side effects with KEVEYIS?

The most common side effects are a feeling of numbness, tingling or burning (“pins and needles”) in the toes, feet, hands or fingers; trouble with memory or thinking; feeling confused; and unpleasant taste in the mouth.

These are not all of the possible side effects of KEVEYIS. Call your healthcare provider for medical advice about side effects. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
