About this active substance
Patiromer calcium is a potassium-binding agent used in the treatment of hyperkalemia (elevated potassium levels in the blood). It works by binding potassium in the gastrointestinal tract, reducing its absorption into the body.
The medication is administered orally, as directed by a doctor, usually once daily. It is important for patients to follow the treatment regimen and avoid consuming potassium-rich foods.
Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as constipation, diarrhea, or hypomagnesemia. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.
Common side effects include constipation, diarrhea, and hypomagnesemia. In rare cases, severe reactions such as intestinal obstruction may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before use.
