What is Lokelma?

Lokelma (sodium zirconium cyclosilicate) is a prescription medication used to treat hyperkalemia. That is a condition where there is a high level of potassium in the blood. High potassium levels can cause symptoms such as nausea, muscle weakness, tiredness, and irregular heartbeats. This medication works directly in the intestines to remove excess potassium from the body. Lokelma does not work right away and should not be used to treat life-threatening high levels of potassium.

This medication comes in the form of an oral powder for reconstitution. Use this medication two hours after or two hours before taking other medications. Your doctor will recommend an appropriate dose for you based on an assessment of your current medical condition, other drugs you are currently taking, and your response to treatment.

This medication must be mixed before use. Open a packet and mix the powdered contents with water. Stir, then drink the mixture right away. If any powder is left in the glass, add more water, stir, and drink again. Repeat until no powder is left in the glass. Take it on a regular schedule as recommended by your healthcare provider.

What are the side effects of Lokelma?

Common side effects may include swelling in your feet, ankles, or hands. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you experience any of these effects, and they persist or worsen. Many patients using this medication do not have any serious side effects.

Serious allergic reactions to this medication are usually rare. However, you should seek immediate medical attention if you begin to experience symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, such as itching, rash, swelling in your face or throat, severe dizziness, tightness in your chest, or trouble breathing.

Talk to your doctor or healthcare provider for full medical advice on the risks and benefits of using Lokelma as this is not a complete list of side effects.

How quickly does Lokelma work?

Lokelma is typically taken three times a day for up to 48 hours. It starts to lower potassium levels within an hour, but the full effect can take up to two days. That’s why Lokelma is used for high but not life-threatening potassium levels.
