What is Lokelma used for?

Lokelma (sodium zirconium cyclosilicate) is a potassium binder. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:

• To treat hyperkalemia (high potassium in the blood) in adults.

Lokelma comes as 5 g and 10 g packets of powder that are mixed with water and taken by mouth. The label says it should not be used as an emergency treatment for life-threatening hyperkalemia because it takes time to work, and that each 5 g contains about 400 mg of sodium. Other medicines taken by mouth are generally taken at least 2 hours before or after Lokelma. The label has no boxed warning. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
