Description

Indications

Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate is a medication utilized in the treatment of hyperkalemia, a condition characterized by elevated levels of potassium in the bloodstream. It is not intended for emergency use in the management of life-threatening hyperkalemia due to its delayed onset of action. Sodium zirconium cyclosilicate belongs to the class of medications referred to as potassium-removing agents and exerts its therapeutic effect by eliminating excess potassium from the body.

Uses and Dosage

Administer this medication orally according to your physician’s instructions. If you are currently taking other medications, ensure that you take them at least 2 hours prior or 2 hours after taking this medication.

Initially, your doctor may instruct you to take this medication three times a day for the first 48 hours, and subsequently, decrease it to once daily or every other day.

Patients undergoing dialysis should only take this medication on non-dialysis days. Follow your doctor’s directions. The dosage is determined based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Your doctor will conduct blood tests to monitor your response to this medication.

This medication necessitates mixing before use. Open the packet and empty its contents into a glass filled with roughly 3 tablespoons or more (45 milliliters or more) of water. Stir the mixture and consume it promptly. If any residue remains in the glass, add more water, stir and consume it again. Repeat this process until no powder remains in the glass to ensure complete intake.

For optimal results, use this medication regularly. To aid in remembering, take it at the same time(s) every day.

Notify your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.
