shoegal Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 I had an old script from my old EP for Midodrine, so I figured now I have insurance I could try it (if I get up the nerve!)My last neuro appt the doc did an appt for thermotabs. He wanted to try them first since Florinef would lower my potassium which is usually on the low end.What confused me first was the thermotabs has 180mg of salt + 15mg of potassium. Basically a cup of milk has more of both, a lot more.I'm already salt loading and having extra potassium to try to get that up, he thinks the thermotabs has more, how?Well the insurance covered the Midodrine but said Thermotabs are not a med, and not proven to do anything useful.Thought it interesting they chose $210 option vs the $11 option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christy_D Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Themotabs are over the counter. You can even order them on Amazon.com or get them at Walgreens,etc.. They are pretty cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoegal Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 But would thermotabs help if you are already having 2,000mg of salt a day + 1,000 of potassium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
