Sodium Channel Blockers
Hi there,
As you know, my sister and I have been to Oxford to see a professor in SFN. We both received our letters today. They both say that he thinks we have a sodium ion channel mutation and has sent off a full gene panel for investigation. We should hear back in about 3 months. He mentioned in our letter that if a sodium mutation is found that we would be put on sodium channel blockers. Does anybody know which sodium channel blockers he is referring to ? He mentioned in my letter that more selective sodium channel blockers i.e. naV 1.7 are not going to be available on the NHS for another 5-10 years.
What sort of sodium channel blockers are available now, which would help somebody with a sodium channel mutation?
Thanks
