Patiromer（Cat No.:I042768）is a non-absorbed potassium-binding polymer used to treat hyperkalemia, a condition characterized by elevated blood potassium levels. It works by exchanging calcium for potassium in the colon, reducing potassium absorption and promoting its excretion through feces. Patiromer is particularly beneficial for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or those taking renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors, where hyperkalemia management is crucial. It is available as an oral powder for suspension and is well-tolerated, with constipation and hypomagnesemia being the most common side effects. It is marketed under the brand name Veltassa.
