K Bind 15 G Description

K-Bind powder reduces high potassium levels in your blood, a condition known as hyperkalemia. It contains polystyrene sulfonate as the active substance that works by removing the extra potassium in your body. K-Bind powder is for oral use only. It can be used in both adults and children. Take this medicine strictly as recommended by your doctor.

Other orally administered medications may bind to K-Bind powder, reducing their absorption and efficacy. Co-administration with other oral medications is not recommended. K-Bind powder should be taken at least 3 hours before or after other oral medications and 6 hours apart for patients with gastroparesis.

Avoid using sorbitol at the same time. Seek medical attention if you are experiencing severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, stomach distension or rectal bleeding. Keep an eye out for other electrolyte imbalances caused by calcium and magnesium binding. If you experience clinically significant constipation, stop using K-Bind powder.

Laxatives containing magnesium should be avoided. Those on low-salt diets or at risk of sodium-related health problems should monitor their sodium intake. Patients suffering from congestive heart failure, hypertension, kidney damage or oedema should be closely monitored.
