Lokelma Powder for Oral Suspension is a potassium-binding medicine used to treat hyperkalemia in adults. It helps lower high blood potassium levels by binding excess potassium in the gut and removing it through the stools. It is not meant for emergency treatment.

Lokelma Powder for Oral Suspension should be taken exactly as prescribed. It is important to take it at the recommended time each day and complete the full dose. Other oral medicines should be taken at least 2 hours before or after this medicine to avoid interactions. Regular use and potassium monitoring help maintain safe potassium levels.

The most common side effect of Lokelma Powder for Oral Suspension is mild to moderate swelling (edema), especially in the legs or ankles. Some patients may also experience constipation or low potassium levels if used in higher doses or for longer periods. Regular monitoring helps manage these effects.

Lokelma Powder for Oral Suspension should be avoided in patients with severe constipation, bowel blockage, or reduced gut movement, as it may worsen these conditions. Caution is needed in patients at risk of fluid retention or swelling, especially those with heart or kidney problems, due to its sodium content. Potassium levels should be monitored regularly to avoid low potassium.
