Lokelma (Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate)

Lokelma (sodium zirconium cyclosilicate) is a potassium binder used for the treatment of hyperkalemia (high potassium) in adults. Hyperkalemia – high potassium – is a condition that can cause serious health issues, including heart problems. Lokelma lowers your potassium level and keeps it there with continued use.

Limitation of Use: This therapeutic drug should not be used as an emergency treatment for life-threatening hyperkalemia (high potassium) because of its delayed onset of action.

Recommended Dosage: The recommended initial dosage for treatment of hyperkalemia is 10 g administered 3 times daily for up to 48 hours. Administer this medicinal product orally as a suspension in water. The recommended dose for maintenance treatment is 10 g once daily. Adjust the dose at one-week intervals as required (by 5 g daily) to obtain the desired serum potassium target range.
The recommended starting dose for patients on Chronic Hemodialysis is 5 g once daily on non-dialysis days.

• Patients suffering from gastrointestinal motility disorders may experience worse constipation or intestinal obstruction with the use of Lokelma 5 g or 10 g oral suspension. In case of severe constipation or bowel obstruction symptoms, cease usage immediately and contact a medical professional. Watch for signs of discomfort, bloating, or any noticeable changes in bowel movements.
• Fluid retention and swelling (edema) can occur with the use of this medicine due to sodium, especially in patients with heart failure or kidney disease. Look out for weight gain, swelling in the legs, or difficulty breathing. If needed, restrict sodium dietary intake and take diuretics as required.
• Using this medicine, patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment may experience low potassium levels (hypokalemia). In the case of such symptoms, as weakness, fatigue, or irregular heartbeats, monitoring potassium levels regularly becomes imperative. Use caution when adjusting dosage, and stop completely if severe hypokalemia takes place.
• Serum potassium tests may give misleading results due to the interference of Lokelma, as blood test monitoring leads to other trouble. To obtain unbiased potassium readings, samples should be drawn before administration. Ensure those providing healthcare system services are aware of Lokelma’s usage prior to conducting diagnostic tests with electrolytes.
• Pregnancy Information for Lokelma for pregnant women is scant. Because Lokelma is not absorbed into the systematic circulation, it is not likely to injure the fetus. Still, it should only be used during pregnancy if absolutely necessary and after discussing the risks with a physician.
• Since this drug is not systemically absorbed, it is not likely to be excreted into breast milk. However, safety information is so scarce that a doctor should be consulted before it is used while breastfeeding. Observe the infant for possible signs of gastrointestinal distress or other unusual effects.
